I am a first-year Ph.D. Student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Miami with the supervision of Prof. Mingzhe Chen. I received M.Phil. in Computer and Information Engineering from The Chinese University of HongKong, Shenzhen in 2024, and B.Eng. in Telecommunication Engineering from Zhengzhou University in 2021.

Research Interests:

1. Intelligent Reflecting Surfaces (IRS)/Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface (RIS),
2. Movable Antenna (MA)/Fluid Antenna System (FAS),
3. Integrated/Joint Sensing and Communication,
4. Optimization for wireless communication system.
