Bio

I am a PhD student at the The Edward. S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the University of Toronto, under the supervision of Prof. Wei Yu. I am now working in the area of wireless communications and mostly interested in the optimization theory and information theory.
