About Me
Welcome! I am Longyu Zhou. Currently, I am working as a Research Fellow in Information Systems Technology and Design, collaborating with Prof. Tony Quek, at SUTD, Singapore.
I obtained a Ph.D. degree from the School of Information and Communication Engineering at UESTC (2019-2023). During my Ph.D., I was a visiting student at the Embedded Systems Group (supervised by Prof. Qing Wang) at TU Delft, the Netherlands (2022-2023). Before that, I enjoyed my Master's journey at UESTC (2018-2019), and my Bachelor's degree has been gotten at Chongqing University of Post and Telecommunications (2014-2018).
My research focuses on Digital Twin and 6G applications in UAV-based scenarios, optimizing Artificial Intelligence algorithms such as deep learning, federated learning, and deep reinforcement learning. I have published high-quality papers (such as IEEE TMC, IEEE TWC, and IEEE INFOCOM) and received best paper awards from several high-quality international conferences. Find more on my research page and tutorials.
