Hello 👋

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), advised by Prof. Changsheng You . I received the M.S. degree from Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications, under the supervision of Prof. Bin Lyu . My research interests include Near-Field Communications, Intelligent Antenna and Surface, and Symbiotic Radio. I have published several papers in top international communication journals and conferences. If you are interested in collaboration, please contact me via email: zhouchao2024@mail.sustech.edu.cn
