People

Dr. Chan received his B.Eng. (First Class Hons.) and Ph.D. degrees in Information Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Hong Kong SAR, China, in 2014 and 2020, respectively. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the Department of Mathematics and Information Technology, The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), Hong Kong SAR, China. Prior to this, he was an Assistant Professor with the Department of Computer Science, The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK), Hong Kong SAR, China, from 2020 to 2022. His research interests include wireless communications and networking, Internet of Things (IoT), age of information (AoI), and AI in wireless communications.
