Weishan Zhang

(email: wzhang23@gmu.edu)

I am currently a PhD candidate with Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at George Mason University, advised by Professor Zhi (Gerry) Tian. I recevied my B.S. degree in Electronic Science and Technology from University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China, in 2018. My general interests are in the areas of distributed machine learning and spectrum estimation.

Research Interests

• Distributed machine learning and federated learning.

• Deep learning-based spectrum sensing.

• Deep learning-based radio map estimation (RME).
