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.

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