Biography

I'm a Postdoc Fellow in Department of Computer Science of UMass, Ahmerst, working with Professor Don Towsley and Mohammad Hajiesmaili. I got my PhD degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Wing Shing Wong. Prior to that, I received my BEng and Msc degree in 2012 and 2015, respectively, both from University of Science and Techonology of China.
