About Me
I received my Ph.D. degree from the ECE Department, UofT 2020 July, thankfully, having Prof. Baochun Li as my advisor. I finished both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2012 and 2015, respectively.
Now I am working as an Assistant Professor in the CSE Division of Louisiana State University. We have available Ph.D. positions.
