I graduated with a Ph.D. in Information Engineering from the Department of Electronic Engineering (电子系), Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, under the supervision of Professor Qunbi Zhuge. I received my bachelor’s degree in Information Engineering (AI Special Class) from the same department at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

I aspire to be a knowledgeable AI expert from hardware to software. My research covers both sides of the AI‑Network loop:

• AI for Network:
  • AIOps: Network digital twin, failure management, and network optimization.
  • Agentic O&M: architecture, skill design, and hardware-software co-acceleration. I lead the world’s first demonstration of agentic full-lifecycle O&M for OTN networks.

  My dissertation work focused on applying the above to optical networks (OTN, DCI, DCN), and is currently extending to wireless, IP, and cloud core networks.

• Network for AI: Accelerating distributed training via collective communication scheduling (Visiting @Polimi with Prof. Massimo Tornatore) and OCS‑based intelligent computing networks.

My CV is also available to download here.

In Sep. 2025, I joined Huawei as the TopMind scholar (天才少年), working in the research lab of autonomous driving networks (which works on autonomous optical/wireless/computer networks, not cars).
