  • Resume

    Sun Qifu, male, born in March 1983, was first admitted to Peking University in 2001, and then entered the Chinese University of Hong Kong through the Hong Kong Jockey Club Scholarship Program to study for an undergraduate degree, and obtained a Bachelor of Engineering (Class A Honors) in 2005. In 2005, he started to study the basic theory of network coding under Professor Li Shuoyan, one of the founders of network coding theory, and obtained a PhD in philosophy in 2009. Before entering the University of Science and Technology Beijing, he had been working at the Institute of Network Coding at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. During this period, he visited the University of New South Wales in Australia for three months to conduct research cooperation on grid network coding with Professor Jinhong Yuan. Has presided over 3 National Natural Science Foundation projects.
