Los Angeles, CA, 90089

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Southern California (USC). I am a member of the IMMERSE (Intelligent Mobile, Multimedia, and nEtwoRking SystEm) Lab at USC ECE and I am very honored to be advised by Prof. Feng Qian. I also work closely with Prof. Bo Han. Before coming to USC, I spent the first four years of my Ph.D. at University of Minnesota - Twin Cities (UMN). I got my bachelor degree from Beihang University (BUAA), Beijing in 2019.

I am broadly interested in Multimedia Systems, ML for Systems, Mobile Systems, and Networking. My current research focuses on designing and optimizing emerging networked multimedia systems for, including but not limited to, immersive content (360 Video, AR/VR/MR, Volumetric Video) delivery, video conferencing, and image co-editing.
