Senior Research Scientist
Palo Alto

Biography

I am a senior researcher at HP Labs. I have joined a Networking and Communication Lab (NCL) at May 2011 and have been working on mobile and wireless systems/networks. Prior to that, I worked at Deutsche Telekom R&D Labs USA, as a senior research scientist. I hold PhD from University of Michigan and MS from Georgia Institute of Technology, all in computer science. 

 

Research interests

My research interests lie in the broad areas of mobile computing and wireless networks. In particular, I am interested in mobile systems, distributed and embedded systems, and wireless systems, with emphasis on performance, Quality-of-Service (QoS), energy efficiency, localization, and data privacy.
