Could you tell us more about you?

Over the past ten years, I have dedicated my career to advancing research at the intersection of wireless communications and machine learning. My work is driven by the transformative potential of interconnected systems and the paradigm-shifting advancements enabled by intelligent collaboration among distributed smart devices.

I am intensively intrigued by the multi-disciplinary ambition at the division of ISD. The division’s culture of fostering collaboration between diverse academic disciplines aligns perfectly with my research philosophy. By bridging complementary expertise, it is promising to address complex challenges in many scenarios.

In the upcoming fall term, I will teach an integrated course on AI & Networking in Edge. This curriculum is designed to deepen students’ understanding of connected intelligence systems while enriching our teaching program. The course will emphasize real-world applications of distributed machine learning in next-generation network architectures, equipping students with both theoretical frameworks and practical implementation skills.
 

What inspired you to specialize in this line of research?

The world is evolving from the internet of everything toward an era of connected intelligence. Before we can achieve truly seamless and intelligent services everywhere, there are critical challenges to address, such as for intelligent transportation system, smart home, green city, etc.

What impact do you want your work to have on society?

I hope our work can make smart services faster and more reliable, reduce unfair decisions caused by incomplete information, and deploy intelligent systems that elevate quality of life through human-centered innovation.

Do you have any advice for students interested in your research area?

For students getting into this field, here’s my advice: Stay curious, and don’t skip the boring stuff. First, let your imagination run wild even if it sounds crazy, that’s how big ideas start. Once you have an idea, start from learning the basics - progress happens when you stubbornly fix those tiny, frustrating problems. 

Could you share a fun fact about you?

I was once a bass guitar player in a campus band. What I loved most was how different instruments—each with their own rhythm and tone—could come together to create something cohesive and powerful. It’s a lot like interdisciplinary work connecting diverse technical fields.
