Assistant Professor, Internet of Things Thrust, HKUST(GZ)

(Taken at Cornell Slope)
Hi! I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Internet of Things (IoT) Thrust at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). I obtained my PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from National University of Singapore in Sep. 2022, advised by Prof. Vincent Y. F. Tan. Before joining HKUST(GZ), I was a postdoc in the Center for Applied Mathematics at Cornell University, working with Prof. Ziv Goldfeld from ECE and Prof. Christina Lee Yu from ORIE. I was honored to be funded by the Center for Applied Mathematics postdoctoral fellowship.
My recent research interests lie in the intersection of information theory and machine learning, including but not limited to:
- Machine learning and statistical learning theory
- Hypothesis testing
- Inference and estimation
- Wireless communications
If you are interested in collaborating with me, please do not hesitate to drop me an email (at the bottom) or drop by my office W3-604 !
To apply, please send an email with your CV, transcript, and a brief statement of your research interests. Use the subject line:
