Brief Biography:
      I am a research professor, the winner of the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars. I am the Secretary of the Party Committee of the Department of Computer Science and Technology. I graduated from the Department of Computer Science and Technology of University of Science and Technology of USTC in 2002, obtained a Ph.D. five years later, and then remain in school as a teacher. In recent years, I have presided over projects such as 4 projects of the National Natural Science Foundation, Post-doctoral special support, Post-doctoral fund (first class) and so on. As the backbone, I participated in more than 10 projects, such as two 973 projects, one 863 project, 3 major national science and technology projects, 2 CNGI of the National Development and Reform Commission projects. More than 120 SCI/EI papers have been published in mainstream international journals and conferences those years, including 18 papers on IEEE/ACM Trans., 22 papers on CCF A such as IEEE JSAC, IEEE TMC, IEEE TPDS and IEEE INFOCOM and 17 papers on CFF B such as IEEE ICNP. In 2018, four papers were selected 16 times in the popular papers of IEEE/ACM Trans. on Networking. I am also the deputy editor of the series of "Network Virtualization" of the top international journal IEEE JSAC.

  • Network  AI

    The combination of network and artificial intelligence can improve the quality of service, which is conducive to the management, operation and maintenance of the network.


    Cloud Computing

    It is a kind of hosting technology that unifies the hardware, software, network and other resources to realize the calculation, storage, processing and sharing of data.


    Edge  AI

    At the edge of the network near the data source, it is an open platform integrating the core capabilities of network, computing, storage and application.


    Network virtualization

    Creating multiple virtual networks on a physical network can simplify the design and maintenance of the network and flatten the network structure.


    Internet of things

    As an extension of the traditional network, the Internet of things connects sensors, controllers, machines, people and things together in a new way, forming a network of people and things, things and things, realizing information, remote management and control and intelligent network.


    Software Defined Network(SDN)

    It is used to separate the control plane and data plane of network equipment, so as to realize the flexible control of network traffic.
          According to different research directions, our research group is divided into two research groups: cloud technology group and edge computing group. The cloud computing group focuses on cloud computing, network virtualization and software defined network; the edge computing group focuses on edge computing, network artificial intelligence and Internet of things. Each research group is led by a special associate researcher from the school of computer science, It consists of 6-7 doctors and 14-16 masters
