Ming Li

Associate Professor

Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of Texas at Arlington
Office: 536 Engineering Research Building Email: ming.li at uta.edu

My research interests include mobile computing, Internet of things, security, and privacy-preserving computing. I received my PhD at Mississippi State University in 2014. Before that, I received my MS in ECE from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2010, and BS in ECE from Sun Yat-Sen University in 2007, respectively. My research has been funded by NSF, DoT, and NIH.

Openings: We are looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students who are committed to research.
