Welcome to my website

I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at the Binghamton University. I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology (under the supervision of Dr. Yingying Chen), and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Rutgers University. My B.S. degree is earned from Tongji University in China.

I am looking for motivated students to work with me in Mobile Computing, Smart Healthcare, Embedded Systems, and Wireless Networks. If you have a strong motivation in doing system research in these areas please send me an email, or stop by and let's chat.
