About me

I am now an Associate Professor with the South China University of Technology (SCUT). I obtained my B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China, in 2013 and 2018, respectively. I was a Research Fellow with the National University of Singapore from 2019 to 2022, and a Visiting Student Research Collaborator with Columbia University from 2015 to 2016.

My research interests include:

5G/6G Wireless Communications

Satellite Communication & Maritime Communication

Signal Processing and Optimization Methods

Massive MIMO and Millimeter Wave (mmWave) Communication

Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS)/Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS)

Opening

I am looking for students who are self-motivated and have a strong background in mathematics and wireless communications. I also provide some positions for postdoctoral researchers and visiting scholars/students. Please drop me an e-mail with your CV and transcript/publication attached if you are interested in joining my research group.
