About me
Zi Jiang Young Researcher, East China Normal University (ECNU)
I joined the School of Information and Electronic Engineering, ECNU in March, 2026. Before that, I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from SJTU, in 2024, the B.S. degree in Information Engineering from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China, and the M.S. degree in Electronics and Communications Engineering from SJTU.
My current research focuses include:
- AI for multimedia communication and network optimization
- LLM Infra (collective communication/compute-communication overlapping/inference serving)
- Deep reinforcement learning and vision-language-action (VLA) model
