I got my Ph.D. degree in Telecommunications Engineering at The University of Texas at Dallas, fortunately under the supervision of Professor Yuming Jiang and Professor Jason P. Jue. Before that, I received my Bachelor's degree in Operations Research and Management Science at Qufu Normal University, a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, honored under the supervision of Professor Shuzhong Zhang, and my second Master's degree in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Dallas.
My main research interests lie in the intersections of Discrete Mathematics, Theoretical Computer Science, and Operations Research. My current research topics: Algorithmic (Solomonoff-Kolmogorov-Chaitin) Information Theory, Networked Multi-Agent Cognitive Control, Next-Generation Optical Communication, Mobile Wireless Communication, Network Virtualization, and 6G Networks.

My hobbies include writing poems📝(published a lot when I was a teenager since age 10), painting👩🎨, calligraphy🖌, music🎼, hiking🏃♀️, and traveling ✈(I have been to more than 150 cities, although most trips were in a nerdy and simple way just between airports and conference buildings). I worked as the certified coach of the National Youth and Children Robot Competition🤖and the coach of the Math Contest 👩💻 of China for years during my part-time when I was an undergraduate student.
