Biography
I am an Associate Professor in Dept. of Computer Science at Purdue University. Previously, I was an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering at the Ohio State University after I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science at University of California, Los Angeles. Prior to UCLA, I worked as an Associate/Assistant Researcher at Wireless Networking Group at Microsoft Research Asia. I received a M.Eng and B.Eng in Automation from Tsinghua University, both with highest honors. In the past, I held internships at IBM TJ Watson Research Center, Microsoft Research Redmond and Microsoft Research Asia.
My current research interests are in the broad areas of mobile networking, system and security, with a recent focus on renovating 5G/6G mobile network architecture/protocols/technologies, mobile network analytics, network verification, network security (real attacks and defense), and efficient visual sensing and computing for IoTs (mainly for drones).
