My research develops signal processing and communication methods for resource-efficient intelligent wireless systems. My current interests include ambient IoT and backscatter communications, semantic communications, and low-altitude intelligent networking. Across these areas, I develop and apply wireless AI and learning-driven signal processing methods.

About

I am a tenure-track Associate Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Intelligentization at Dongguan University of Technology and a member of the Dongguan Strategic Scientist Team. I received my Ph.D. in Electronic Information Technology from Macau University of Science and Technology in 2024 under the supervision of Prof. Dong Li. I completed a formal joint dual-degree M.S. program in Electrical Engineering at Tatung University and Iowa State University, with degrees conferred by both institutions in 2020; at Iowa State University, I worked with Prof. Zhengdao Wang. I received my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Tatung University in 2017 and was a postdoctoral fellow at Macau University of Science and Technology from February to December 2024.
