About me

I am a postdoctoral fellow in the ECE Department at University of Toronto. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Ding Yuan.
Prior to that, I received my Ph.D. degree from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) under the supervision of Prof. Wei Wang, and my B.Eng. degree from Zhejiang University (ZJU).
