About

🎓 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 📃CV & detailed publications here.
I'm always looking for related collaboration and reviewer invitations. Recently, I'm searching for postdoctoral position (2027). If you are interested to chat with me, feel free to drop me an email.
