About Me
I’m an assistant professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), with the State Key Laboratory of Networking and Switching Technology, Computer Science Department. Before that, I received my Ph.D. from Tsinghua University in June 2022 (Supervisors: Prof. Jun Bi, Prof. Fengyuan Ren). I received my B.S. in computer science and technology from BUPT in 2017 (rank 1/304).
