Biography

Dr. Yin received his B.Sc. degree in Mathematics (Information Science stream), B.Eng. degree in Information Engineering (Telecommunications stream and Information Processing stream) and Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2013, 2014 and 2019 respectively. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute of Network Coding, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He joined the Department of Information Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong in August 2022. Dr. Yin's main research interest lies in the field of batched network coding. Besides that, he is also interested in computer and network systems, combinatorics and coding theory.
