🙋‍♂️ About Me 关于我

Hi! I am Zheng Gong, an Associate Researcher at the College of Intelligence and Computing at Tianjin University(天津大学智能与计算学部/网络安全学院). I am also a researcher at TANKLab, led by Prof. Keqiu Li, IEEE Fellow. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University🇭🇰 in February 2025, supervised by Prof. Lei Yang. Before that, I received my Master’s Degree at Xidian University, supervised by Prof. Hui Li. My research spans the fields of low-power communication and sensing systems.

I have published full research papers on ALL CCF A conferences in computer networks, including ACM SIGCOMM, ACM MobiCom, USENIX NSDI, and IEEE INFOCOM. My work has been awarded the Best Demo Award Runner-Up at ACM MobiCom 2022.

🎯学生招募: 我一直招募优秀的博士生、硕士生和本科生和我合作🤝，研究方向为智慧物联网，属于EE和CS的交叉方向，十分鼓励EE背景和CS背景的学生踊跃申请。EE背景的学生需要掌握电磁场和电磁波、通信原理、数字/模拟电路设计、天线仿真和设计、复变函数等相关课程。CS背景的同学则需熟练使用Python、C++、Matlab等编程语言，同时对嵌入式开发、信号处理、深度学习等技术有初步了解。对物联网、通信、感知有兴趣，或者参加过类似科研、竞赛项目是加分项🤔。有兴趣的同学请将简历和其他个人说明材料发送至gongzheng (at) tju.edu.cn。
