Short Biography

I am currently an Associate Professor/Doctoral supervisor at School of Information Science and Technology, Donghua University (DHU), P. R. China. I obtained my B.S. degree from School of Electronic Information and Automation, Tianjin University of Science and Technology, P. R. China in 2013. From Sep. 2013 to Jun. 2018, I studied for my Ph.D. degree in School of Electronic Information and Communications, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Hongbo Jiang. In addition, during my doctoral studies, several teachers in the reaserch group especially Prof. Chen Wang also guided me. Now my research focuses on Internet of Things and Data science. The flowing are some detailed research directions:

• Data privacy technology
• Internet of things and mobile edge computing
• Federated Learning and applications

Openings. I am looking for highly self-motivated Ph.D./M.S. students with solid background in mathematics and wireless networking. Please feel free to contact me at pingzhao2018ph@dhu.edu.cn.
