Bio

My work focuses on agentic and decentralized AI, blockchain and Web3, Internet of Things, distributed systems, and cloud-edge computing. I am currently with SIAT, CAS, working on decentralized AI, autonomous AI agents, AI governance, blockchain systems, edge computing, and trustworthy distributed intelligence.

Research

My research agenda centers on the design, implementation, and evaluation of trustworthy intelligent systems across decentralized and resource-constrained environments.

• Decentralized and agentic AI: coordination, governance, and secure collaboration among autonomous AI agents.
• Blockchain and Web3 systems: scalable, secure, and intelligent decentralized infrastructures.
• IoT, edge, and distributed computing: computation, communication, and resource management for networked systems.
• Trustworthy distributed intelligence: verifiable execution, privacy, security, and system-level evaluation.
