I received a Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Chengdu, China, in 2012, and a Ph.D. degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, in 2016. My Ph.D. supervisor was Professor Jack Y. B. Lee. I have been working in the industry since graduation.
I have broad research interests on computer networks, including but not limited to
Video streaming algorithm
Internet congestion control algorithm
AI for networks
