About me

Before I join The Chinese University of Hong Kong, I received my B.Eng. degree in Electronic Information Engineering and minor degree in Philosophy from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) in 2021. From January 2024 to June 2024, I visited Stanford University, ISL Lab, hosted by Professor Ayfer Özgür and supported by CUHK PhD IMPAC Award 2023–24.

Research

Advisors: Professor Cheuk Ting Li and Professor Raymond W. Yeung

My research interests lie in network information theory and applications. With more details, I currently work on the following directons:

Information Theory:

I provide one-chot coding schemes and achievability analyses on network information theory problems.

See my papers: [Noisy Network Coding], [Watermarking], [Oblivious Relaying], [Weighted Parity-Check Codes] and [Soft Polar Codes].

Compression, Privacy and Distributed Learning:

I employ information-theoretic compression techniques on distributed machine learning and privacy problems.

See my papers: [Compression of DP Mechanisms], [Information Bottleneck] and [Watermarking].

Wireless Communications:

I develop fundamental theory and low-complexity algorithms for large-scale networks in next-generation mobile networks.

See my papers: [Multiflow Optimization], [Noisy Network Coding], [Oblivious Relaying], [Massive Random Access] and Wireless Scheduling [a], [b], [c].
