Welcome! I am a Lecturer in Computer and Information Sciences at Northumbria University, UK 🇬🇧 and a visiting researcher at Georg-August-University of Göttingen, Germany 🇩🇪. Before that, I worked as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Chair of High Performance Computing, Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg (HSU/UniBwH)/University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪.

I have a multidisciplinary background, received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Exeter, UK 🇬🇧 in Computer Science under the support of International Excellence Scholarship. Prior to that, I graduated from the Beihang University, Beijing, China 🇨🇳. I hold a M.Sc. degree in Control Science & Engineering, and a B.Eng degree in Mechanical Engineering.

My research interests include:

• Mobile edge computing
• Intelligent transportation systems
• Game theory teaming with reinforcement learning
• Decision-making strategies in future mobile networks
  

I am also enthusiastic to teach and work with highly motivated students, and very excited to see students making progress. In qualification, I am an Associate Fellow of UKPSF (also in the last stage of the PGCAP process) for teaching and supporting learning in higher education, recognized by Advance HE.
