About Me

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher working with Prof. Anna Scaglione at Cornell Tech . I received my Ph.D. in the Department of Systems Engineering and Engineering Management from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Hoi-To Wai. Before that, I received my bachelor’s degree in Control Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University. From July to December 2024, I was a visiting student with Prof. Anna Scaglione at Cornell Tech .

My research interest focuses on graph signal processing, network dynamics and network games, graph neural networks, and optimization algorithms in machine learning.
