About Me
I am an incoming PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin, fortunate to be advised by Prof. Gustavo de Veciana. I am expecting to graduate with my MPhil degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in July 2025, where my supervisor is Prof. Khaled B. Letaief.
My research interests lie in Communication Systems and Machine Learning, with a current focus on Federated Learning and Differential Privacy.
