About Me     Group     Publications     Patents     Selected Awards

I joined the faculty of Department of Electronics and Information Engineering at Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2008 as an associate professor, after receiving Ph.D. in Computer Science from Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Case Western Reserve University. Now my research focuses on computer networking, especially algorithms and architectures for high-performance networks and wireless networks. I lead the Networked and Communication Systems Research Group (NEST), which is part of the Media and Communication Lab (MC Lab), Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Here are some of my ongoing projects:

• Ambient intelligence in sensor networks.
• Mobile and wireless applications.
• Highly available and reliable networked systems.

Opening Positions: Please read this before you send me an email. (1) I am currently recruiting self-motivated and dedicated Ph.D./M.S. students with solid background in mathematics, wireless communications and networking, etc. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested. (2) I plan to host a selected number of PostDocs with strong research background.
