Linfang Wang

Hi, My name is Linfang Wang, I am currectly a fifth year Ph.D. student in Department of Electrical & Compuater Engineering, UCLA. I am working with Professor Richard Wesel and Professor Dariush Divsalar in Communication and System Laboratory.

My research interests are inforamtion theory and coding theory. More specifically, I am working on non-uniform quantization LDPC decoder construction and find fabulous protograph based LDPC code. Besides, I am also interested in the combination between information bottleneck and deep neural network.
