Welcome! I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, UK 🇬🇧, and a visiting researcher at Georg-August-University of Göttingen, Germany 🇩🇪. Earlier in my career, I worked as a Postdoctoral researcher in the Chair of High Performance Computing, Helmut-Schmidt-Universität/Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg (HSU/UniBw H)/University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg, Germany 🇩🇪.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Exeter, UK 🇬🇧. 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 Design, Manufacturing and Its Automation. This multidisciplinary training bridges engineering and computer science, and underpins both my teaching and research.

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 incredibly fortunate to have shared my academic journey with many brilliant and kind-hearted individuals. I am deeply grateful to my Ph.D. supervisors, postdoctoral advisor, co-authors, colleagues, and collaborators, whose support and guidance have shaped both my research and who I am today. Their unwavering support, patient guidance, and belief in me carried me through out the moments of ups and downs, reminding me to keep moving forward even in times of uncertainty.

With their support, I am deeply inspired to pursue the research that advances knowledge and creates meaningful, cross-disciplinary impact with a strong sense of purpose.

If you think I could be helpful on your journey, please do not hesitate to reach out.

None of us walks alone. I am grateful for the kindness I received when I needed it most, and I hope to pass it on.
