My broad research interests are in the general field of computer networks with a focus on building routing protocols and network architectures that improve the reliability, security, and performance of future communication systems.
Currently, I am interested in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET). VANET has the potential to be an important enhancer for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Future ITS can lead to significant impact on people's lives and society with lasting effects on safety, economy, and the environment.
My primary research in VANET include network design and network security. The subject of my PhD dissertation is to leverage and incorporate understanding of traffic flow dynamics to improve broadcast communication and netwrk security in VANET.

About Me
-
I am a Ph.D Candidate in Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. I am enrolled in the Networked Systems Program and am affiliated with the UC Irvine School of Information and Computer Science and UC Irvine Institute of Transportation Studies.
I am co-advised by Professor Amelia Regan and Professor Wen-Long Jin.
As an engineer, my industry experiences include Cisco Systems and Qualcomm. I also did internships during college years in small/start-up companies, Anydata and Endeavors Technology.
I am grateful to meet wonderful mentors in life who have provided invaluable learning capacities and wisdom for me. Here are a few quotes that I value highly and live my life with these quotes in mind.
"Sorrow keeps you Human,"
"Failures keep you Humble,"
"Success keeps you Glowing."
