I received my Ph.D. in Information and Communication Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology, Shenzhen, in 2025. I was previously a postdoctoral researcher at Middle East Technical University (ERC Advanced Grant GO-SPACE, jointly with DLR) and a visiting researcher at A*STAR I2R, Singapore. My research covers information theory, Age of Information, goal-oriented and semantic communications, optimal sampling and scheduling, finite-blocklength channel coding, and non-terrestrial and space networks. My work appears in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Transactions on Communications, Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Communications Magazine, ISIT, and ITW. My Ph.D. thesis received a Best Dissertation Award Nomination at HIT, and I won 3rd Prize at the IEEE GLOBECOM 4MT Thesis Competition.
