My research interests include mobile computing, Internet of things, security, and privacy-preserving computing. I received my Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Mississippi State University in 2014. Before that, I received my M.E. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2010, and B.E. in Electrical Engineering 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.
