Short Bio

I started the tenure-track assistant professor position here right after I got my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California-Irvine in August 2005.  I am currently a tenured full professor.  Broadly speaking, I work on networked systems research. More specific research areas include networked robotic systems, cyber physical systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), and mobile sensing. I design algorithms, develop techniques, and build systems to enable emerging pervasive and mobile computing applications, where mobile robots, stationary sensors, and humans collaborate to accomplish a certain mission. In addition, I apply my expertise into interdisciplinary research by using wireless sensor systems, mobile devices, and mobile robots for a variety of applications such as space missions, underground safety, smart and connected communities, adaptive irrigation, environmental monitoring, energy efficient homes, and oil refinery inspection. I’m an IEEE senior member, ACM senior member, and ACM Distinguished Lecturer. 

Research Opportunities

Ph.D. students

I’m regularly looking for motivated Ph.D. students with strong algorithms background and implementation skills to work on research areas of Internet of Things, cyber physical systems, mobile sensing, and networked robotic systems. 

Master’s students

MS thesis topics and project topics are available. Please contact me for more information.
