Welcome to my personal website! I am currently an Assistant Professor with the School of ECE at the University of Georgia. Previously, I worked as a postdoctoral research associate with Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis at the University of Minnesota.  I received my PhD degree in electrical engineering from the University of Connecticut under the supervision of Prof. Yaakov Bar-Shalom and Prof. Peter Willett in June 2018. Before that, I obtained my BS degree in electrical engineering from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in July 2013. 

My current research interests are in the broad areas of machine learning, signal processing, data science, and communications.

Openings:

I have multiple openings for PhD students with full RA support starting Spring/Fall 2025. If you are interested in working with me, please drop me an email with your CV, transcripts, and sample publications (if any).
