My name is Zhengru Fang (ζΉζΏε). I am a PhD student from the Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong (CityU), under the supervision of Prof. Yuguang "Michael" Fang. I received my M.S. degree from Tsinghua University (2019-2022) and B.S. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (2015-2019). I received the Outstanding Thesis Award from Tsinghua University in 2022, and the Excellent Master Thesis Award from the Chinese Institute of Electronics in 2023.
My research interests focus on collaborative perception, V2X communications, age of information, and mobile edge computing. I have published several papers at top journals (e.g., IEEE/ACM ToN, IEEE JSAC, IEEE TMC) and conferences (e.g., CVPR, ACM MM, IEEE ICRA) .
