Biography
I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science under the guidance of Dr. Mo Sha from State University of New York at Binghamton (SUNY-Binghamton). Before my Ph.D. study, I received an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and a B.S. degree in Communication Engineering from Hangzhou Dianzi University (HDU). My research interests include Self-Adaptive Wireless Networking, Embedded Systems, and the Internet of Things.
Research Experience & Awards
Doctoral Research
Advisor: Dr. Mo Sha, SUNY-Binghamton, 2016 – 2021
Dissertation: Enabling Reliable and Efficient Data Transfer for Internet of Things Applications
• Reduced the high management complexity of industrial wireless networks by leveraging the Cross-Technology Communication (CTC) from LoRa to ZigBee (published in TOSN'21 and ICNP'19).
• Developed a campus shuttle monitoring system that collected real-time data from running vehicles over 14 months based on a novel LoRa radio control solution (published in ICNP'20).
• Enabled dynamic radio bundling and data partitioning among multiple heterogeneous radios to support real-time data deliveries energy-efficiently (published in Ad Hoc Networks'20 and DCOSS'19).
• Developed a multi-radio communication system that dynamically selects radio and transmission power to save the power consumption and maintain the network reliability (published in TOSN'19 and IWQoS'17).
Services
• Assisted in reviewing papers in ICPADS'21, ISORC'21, ICESS'20, IIoT'19, MSN'19, and ICPADS'17.
