About me

I am now an Assistant Professor with Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). I obtained my Ph.D. degree from The University of Hong Kong in 2018, and the B.Eng. degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2014. I was a postdoc research fellow with National University of Singapore in 2018-2021

My research interests include

• Wireless communication and networking

• Mobile edge computing

• UAV communications

• Intelligent reflecting surface

Vacancy: We are actively looking for students who are self-motivated and have a strong background in mathematics and wireless communications. We also welcome applications of Research Assistant Professors, Post-Doctoral Researchers, and Visiting Scholars. Interested candidates please send your resume and three representative publications to youcs@sustech.edu.cn
