About me

I am a first-year PhD student with the College of Computer Science at Zhejiang University, China. I received my B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from Fuzhou University in 2019 and 2022, respectively. From 2019 to 2022, I visited the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the College of Computer Science at Peking University, China, as a research assistant. My advisors are Prof. Chunming Wu (Zhejiang University), Prof. Qun Huang (Peking University), and Prof. Dong Zhang (Fuzhou University). My current researches focus on programmable networks, network function virtualization (NFV), network security, and network measurement. My full publication list can be found at Google Scholar.
