Hi~ I’m Hui Zhao (赵辉)

I am pursuing the Ph.D. degree with the School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. My research is supervised by Prof. Zheng Chang. I was a visiting PhD student at the School of Computer Science, University College Dublin, supervised by Prof. Madhusanka Liyanage. I am a student member of IEEE. I served as the TPC member of IEEE WCNC2024-WS11. My research is primarily centered around the utilization of AI in UAV wireless networks. The key objectives are to address "how the UAV wireless networks can provide better wireless access service and edge computing service as aerial BSs" with the help of DL/ML.

Seeking Postdoc Positions

🚀 I am currently seeking Postdoctoral opportunities starting from [12/2026]. My research focus is evolving towards the next generation of wireless systems, with a particular interest in:

  • Space-Air-Ground Integrated Networks
  • Edge Intelligence
  • AI-Radio Access Networks (AI-RAN)

If you are interested in my research background or have potential openings, please feel free to reach out via email!
