Shangkun Li

I am Shangkun Li (李尚坤 in Chinese), a PhD candidate in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Wei Zhang. I am also actively collaborating with Cheng Tan. I am honored to be supported by the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS). Prior to this, I received my B.S. in Physics from Fudan University in 2024.

My research interests include:
