About ME

Dr. Rongpeng Li (李荣鹏) is now an associate professor in College of Information Science and Electronic Engineering, Zhejiang University (ZJU), Hangzhou, China, where he has been working since November 2016. He received his Ph.D from ZJU in June 2015 and his B.E. from Xidian University, Xi’an, China in June 2010. From August 2015 to September 2016, he was a research engineer with Wireless Communication Laboratory, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Shanghai, China. He was a visiting scholar in  Department of Computer Science and Technology, Cambridge University, UK from February 2020 to August 2020, a visiting doctoral student in Supélec, Rennes, France from September 2013 to December 2013, and an intern researcher in China Mobile Research Institute, Beijing, China from May 2014 to August 2014.

His research interests continuously focus on service-awareness, networking, and artificial intelligence (especially reinforcement learning). He has also dipped in fields like cellular network data mining, stochastic geometry-based analyses, full-duplex networks, multiple access, etc. He has published 100+ referred articles in the related fields. Dr. Li received the Wu Wenjun Artificial Intelligence Excellent Youth Award. He serves as an Editor of China Communications.
