Professional Preparation

Ph.D. in Computer Science Department of Computer Science, University of New Hampshire; M.Eng. in Applied Technology and B.Eng. in Computer Science and Technology School of Computer Science, Hubei University of Technology, China.

Research

My research focuses on wireless and distributed networking systems, including wireless sensor networks, delay-tolerant networks, ad hoc networks, drone networks, service availability, and network security. I am particularly interested in designing energy-efficient solutions that provide reliable communication and computing services in resource-constrained network environments. For more information about my research see my C.V. and research page.
