Biography

I am an Assistant Professor with the Department of Computer Science (CS) at Missouri University of Science and Technology. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Northeastern University in 2019, under the supervision of Professor Tommaso Melodia. I also received my M.S. in Electrical Engineering from The State University of New York at Buffalo in 2014. I had previously received my B.S. in Information Science and Engineering and M.S. from Shandong University in 2008 and 2001. From 2011 to 2012 I was a software developer of Alcatel-Lucent Co. in Qingdao, China. I worked as a summer intern in Bell Labs and in IBM in 2014 and 2010, respectively. I direct the Wireless Networks and Intelligent Systems (WNIS) Lab at MST, with research interests in modeling, control and system design for next-generation intelligent wireless networks.
