Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Zhuzhong Qian (钱柱中) and Baoliu Ye (叶保留) at Nanjing University (南京大学). To date, I have published or had more than 17 papers accepted in renowned journals and conferences, including IEEE TMC, IEEE/ACM TON, Computer Networks, Journal of Computer Science and Technology, IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE SECON, IEEE ISPA, IEEE ICC, IEEE ICPADS, IEEE/ACM IWQOS poster, and BigCom. My first-author paper was honored with the Best Paper Award at BigCom 2023. In addition, I have conducted extensive research on various topics, advised by Lei Jiao at the University of Oregon. My research interests encompass CPN, In-band Network Telemetry, P4 switch, SDN, Federated Learning, Big Data Analytics, and Distributed Machine Learning. You can find my detailed [CV] attached.
