I was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at University of Tennessee, Knoxville between 2012 and 2017. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Pennsylvania State University in 2012, and my bachelor degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2005. I am a NSF CAREER Award recipient in 2016.
I have been an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Pittsburgh since fall 2017. My new webpage is here.
My research focuses on the design, analysis, measurement and implementation of mobile, embedded and networked systems. I have strong interests in unveiling analytical principles underneath practical problems, designing systems based on these principles, and implementing and deploying these systems in practice. My research areas mainly include the following:
- Mobile and embedded computing systems
- Cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things
- Wireless networking and communications
- Mobile cloud computing and big data
- Computer and network security
- Smart grid
