About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Prof. Hui Wang’s research group at Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua, China.

My research focuses on federated learning and edge intelligence, particularly communication-efficient learning, knowledge distillation, and generalization across domains. I am also interested in wireless communications and parameter-efficient fine-tuning with LoRA.
