Biography

Hi, I am Yi-Jing Liu (刘贻静)

I am currently serving as an associated professor at the National Key Laboratory of Wireless Communications, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. I received Ph.D. degree at the University of Electronic Science and technology in 2023, under the supervision of prof. Gang Feng. I was also a visiting Ph.D. student at the College of Computing and Data Science, under the supervision of prof. Dusit Niyato, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, from 2022 to 2023.

Currently, my focus is on the Internet of agents as well as the integration of distributed machine learning/generative AI and wireless networks, from the perspectives of “AI for Wireless Networks” and “Wireless Networks for AI”.
