Biography
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, hosted by Professor Alberto Leon-Garcia. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Jan. 2018, supervised by Professor Danny H.K. Tsang. From Oct. 2015 to April 2016, I was a visiting research fellow in the School of Engineering and Applied Science, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA, hosted by Professor Na (Lina) Li.
Research
My research interests lie primarily in the interdisciplinary area of energy, networking and economics. Examples of past and current research projects include demand-side management in smart grids, electric vehicle networks in smart cities, and resource allocation in cloud/edge computing systems. For more information, please see Current Research and Publication.
I am also broadly interested i) online algorithms in optimization and machine learning, ii) algorithmic mechanism design/game theory, iii) stochastic models and applied probability (e.g., queueing theory, Markov chain). In particular, my research tends to focus on designing incentives (e.g., pricing) and online decision-making algorithms (e.g., scheduling and resource allocation) such that a desired performance of a networked system can be achieved through a collective behavior of its users/customers under uncertain and strategic environments.
