I am a fourth year Ph.D. student in Computer Science. I got a masters degree from South Dakota State University. Before that, I was a Logistics Engineer in Shanghai. I had worked on a number of projects on mobile sensor systems for Intelligent Transportation Systems. My primary research objectives and interests are in the area of Internet of Things and mobile computing. I am fascinated with the designing, analyzing and modeling of mobile applications or wireless network to explore how to implement computation and how best to pass what I have learned to others. I had worked in the Wolfpack Interactive, Sensing, and Networking Lab advised by Dr. Muhammad Shahzad. I am currently a member of Wolfpack Security and Privacy Research Lab and work with Dr. Anupam Das who runs IoT Smart Home Lab. My research focuses on sensor sensing, mobile computing, IoT, privacy and security.

Research Interest:

  • Wireless Sensing: WiFi signals based human/object sensing applications to Intelligent Transportation Systems and smart home.
  • Mobile computing: pattern/activity recognition relating to bridging Cyber-Physical System and Machine Learning using smartphones and other sensors.
  • Security and Privacy: IoT devices
