About
I am a Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Prof. Yuanzhu Chen and Prof. Octavia Dobre at the Queen’s University, WineMocol Lab. My research interests include federated learning, computer networks, and cyber security.
Research Interests
- Federated Learning and Edge Computing
- Computer Networks and Network Science
- Cyber Security
Research & Teaching Impact
My research and teaching align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
SDG 4 (Quality Education): Through teaching Discrete Structures, I promote accessible and concept-driven foundational education in computing, strengthening students’ mathematical and logical foundations.
SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure): My research focuses on resilient and decentralized learning systems that remain reliable under network failures, adversarial behavior, and resource constraints.
SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities): Supporting sustainable digital infrastructure for large-scale intelligent systems.
