Hi! I am Jingyu Tong, a researcher at the 6G Research Center, China Telecom Research Institute. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in June 2025, supervised by Prof. Lei Yang. Before that, I received my M.Sc. in Information and Communication Engineering and B.Eng. in Communication Engineering from Dalian University of Technology, supervised by Prof. Jie Wang.

My current research focuses on distributed network architectures and systems for 6G. Before and during my Ph.D., I worked on wireless sensing, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and physical neural networks. My work has been published in ACM/IEEE venues including UbiComp, INFOCOM, MobiHoc, MobiCom, and SenSys.
