Xuanhao Luo

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at North Carolina State University, advised by Dr. Yuchen Liu. I also work closely with Dr. Zhiyuan Peng. Previously, I held research internships at Lenovo Research and Syracuse University.

My research develops ubiquitous intelligence for wireless and networked systems under information and resource constraints. I build AI-native systems that can perceive, communicate, reason, and act reliably under sparse observations and limited budgets.

  • Foundation and generative models for pervasive sensing under limited observations
  • Efficient and semantic communication under bandwidth and computation constraints
  • RL, digital twins, and LLM-enabled network planning and control under sparse feedback
