Zicong Jiang

Hello! I am a second-year PhD student at the Communication Systems Group, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. I am supervised by Assist. Prof. Christian Häger, Prof. Erik Agrell, and Prof. Magnus Karlsson.

Previously, I completed my Master's thesis at IVRL, EPFL, working with Prof. Sabine Süsstrunk, Yufan Ren, and Prof. Søren Forchhammer.

I hold a Master's degree from Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and a Bachelor's degree from Northeast Electric Power University.

I am passionate about utilizing advanced ML algorithms to solve problems in communication systems, specifically joint optical fiber sensing and communication (OISAC/OJSAC), and implementing algorithms via FPGA. I am also deeply interested in generative models for 3D/2D editing. If you are interested in doing thesis projects or research collaborations, please feel free to contact me!
