Biography

Cheuk Ting Li received the B.Sc. degree in mathematics and B.Eng. degree in information engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2012, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 2014 and 2018 respectively. He was a postdoctoral scholar at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley. He was awarded the 2016 IEEE Jack Keil Wolf ISIT Student Paper Award. He joined the Department of Information Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong in January 2020.

Cheuk Ting Li is interested in developing new information-theoretic techniques to address problems in delay-constrained communications, automated theorem proving, distributed computing and machine learning. .
