Zhaoyuan Xu

I am currently pursuing my Ph.D degree with the School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and my supervisor is Prof. Wei Gong. I received my B.E. degree from USTC, in 2020. I am focusing on developing Internet of Things (IoT) systems with backscatter technology to enable the vision of pervasive communication. I am also interested in wireless networks.
