About me

Hi, I’m Zeyi Ren, a M.Phil. student at the department of EEE, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), supervised by Prof. Yik-Chung Wu. Before that, I got my B.Eng. degree in Electronics and Information Engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). I have also worked as a visiting research intern at Shenzhen Research Institute of Big Data, collaborated with Dr. Yang Li (Joined Great Bay University as Associate Professor in March 2025).

My research interests mainly focus on Interpretable-AI for Wireless Communications and Statistical Machine Learning.
During my undergraduate studies, I concentrated on Localization problems in wireless networks, with a particular emphasis on the Cooperative Localization.

I’m also a Bilibili influencer with 160k followers, where you can check my videos by searching the ID 向前的赵
