LUO, Robin Bin

About Me

I am currently a Ph.D. student at the department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) under the supervision of Choh-Ming Li Chair Professor John C.S. Lui (ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow) in Hong Kong. I am also a member of Advanced Networking and System Research Laboratory (ANSR Lab) led by Professor John C.S. Lui. My research focuses on employing mathematical methodologies, including Markov decision processes and other optimization techniques, to construct and analyze models for diverse protocols within quantum networks, thereby deriving physically meaningful insights. Additionally, I have a keen interest in exploring the domain of quantum reinforcement learning (RL) and distributed quantum algorithms.

Prior to joining the Ph.D. program, I received my bachelor’s degree in June 2023 from the School of Mathematics at Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), majoring in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics.
