About Me

I received my B.S. degree and Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, in 2016 and 2023. I am very fortunate to be supervised by IEEE Fellow Prof. Jie Li and IEEE Fellow Prof. Weijia Jia. My current research interests include edge computing, task scheduling, and container management. Since 2023, I have been a research assistant professor in Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and I am a member of IBDS LAB. From 2018 to 2022, I have been a research assistant in the University of Macau and Beijing Normal University. I has published more than twenty papers in leading journals and conferences (e.g., ToN, TC, TMC, TSC). I have served as a reviewer for TSC, INFOCOM, TSC, ICDCS, CN, JPDC, IoT-J, and CCGRID.
