BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
I am currently an associate professor with the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. Prior to joining Tsinghua, I was a professor with the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, China. My research interests include Internet-of-Things, edge computing, distributed & embedded AI, and operating system. I am a senior member of the IEEE and a member of the ACM. I was recognized as a highly cited researcher by Clarivate in 2020-2022.
I am looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students who are intrested in my research areas. Please feel free to contact me, if you want to join my group.
