Academic Profile

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Technology at Beijing Normal–Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU), under the supervision of IEEE Fellow Professor Weijia Jia. My research centers on one fundamental question: how can distributed intelligence be efficiently orchestrated across heterogeneous and dynamic edge environments? I approach this question from the perspective of edge resource management and intelligent orchestration, where computing, networking, and service resources must be jointly coordinated under constraints of latency, resource heterogeneity, dynamic workloads, and limited cross-domain information. Rather than treating deployment, scheduling, and resource allocation as isolated optimization problems, I investigate how edge systems can evolve from efficient infrastructure management toward adaptive and collaborative intelligence across the cloud–edge–end continuum.

My research therefore follows a progressive path: from managing resources at the edge, to enabling intelligence at the edge, and ultimately to coordinating intelligence from edge to end. Representative work includes container migration with layer sharing (IEEE/ACM ToN 2024), container image caching (MSN 2023), resource overbooking and scheduling (IEEE TMC 2024), and adaptive edge service management (IEEE TSC 2026). My recent and ongoing research further explores cross-domain collaboration, multi-agent decision making, and causal reasoning for distributed edge intelligence, with work appearing in or targeting venues including IEEE TMC and ACM CSUR. My long-term goal is to develop scalable, adaptive, and explainable edge intelligence systems that jointly reason about computing resources, network conditions, and user experience, bridging learning-based decision making with practical and deployable distributed systems.

01

Edge Computing and Container Scheduling

Edge resources are distributed across devices with uneven computing, memory, and network capacity. Without heterogeneity-aware deployment and migration, available capacity becomes fragmented while tasks concentrate on a few nodes. My work develops container deployment, scheduling, and migration methods that coordinate these resources to improve utilization and reduce service latency.

02

Edge Intelligence and Resource Management

As edge models become more complex and workloads change over time, static deployment decisions quickly become inefficient, causing resource contention, latency spikes, and potential service interruptions. My work develops runtime resource management and adaptive scheduling methods that continuously rebalance workloads and optimize system configurations while maintaining seamless service delivery.

03

Cross-Domain Multi-Agent Collaboration at the Edge

Edge servers, networks, and user devices operate across different administrative domains. These boundaries restrict information sharing, while network delays and device mobility leave agents with partial or outdated observations. My work develops cross-domain multi-agent collaboration methods that exchange compact knowledge and coordinate decisions, enabling collective intelligence beyond isolated edge service clusters.
