I am a fourth year PhD Candidate in the Computer Science Department at University of California, Irvine. I visited and worked at UCI from 2007 to 2009, and then decided to study here to pursue my PhD degree. My current advisor is Prof. Amelia C. Regan.

 

I will graduate in Winter 2013, and I am looking for a job in academia or industry areas.

 

 

Research Interests

 

Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing, Location-based Services, Cyber-Physical Transportation Systems, Mobile Social Networks, Cloud Computing and Crowdsourcing, etc.

Protocol design and performance evaluation of Wireless and Mobile Communication Networks, e.g. Localization, Routing, Medium Access Control (MAC), Topology Control, Mobility Management, Resource Allocation and Scheduling, etc.
