Short Bio

Minrui Xu received B.S. degree from Sun Yat-sen University (中山大学), Guangzhou, China, in 2021 supervised by Prof. Wuhui Chen in InplusLab. He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree in the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, supervised by Prof. Dusit Niyato, Fellow of IEEE.

His research interests broadly focus on Metaverse, mobile edge computing, deep reinforcement learning, and mechanism design. He initiated several new fields such as edge-enabled Metaverse, mobile generative AI services, and mobile quantum computing.
