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 a Fellow of UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF) for teaching and supporting learning in higher education, recognized by Advance HE.

Acknowledgement

I feel deeply fortunate to have my academic journey with so many brilliant researchers and kind-hearted individuals. Therefore, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to my Ph.D. supervisors, postdoctoral advisor, co-authors, colleagues, and collaborators, each of whom has played an essential role in shaping not only my research, but also who I am as a person. Their unwavering support, patient guidance, and belief in me carried me through out the moments of doubt and difficulty, reminding me to keep going even when the path was uncertain.

With their support, I am deeply inspired to pursue research that pushes the frontiers of knowledge and embodies a profound sense of purpose to create meaningful, cross-disciplinary impact.
