About

馃帗 I'm a 2nd year Ph.D. student at the College of Computer Science and Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), under the supervision of Prof. Changyan Yi, where I also received the M.S. degree in 2024. My main research interests include digital twin construction, federated/distributed system, game-theoretical AI agent design, DRL-based online optimization and physical/virtual layer security. You can find my 馃搩CV & detailed publications here.

I'm always looking for related collaboration and reviewer invitations. If you are interested to chat with me, feel free to drop me an email. I will complete my Ph.D. in June 2027 and am actively seeking postdoctoral opportunities. Please feel free to contact me.
