Short Bio:

I am a fifth year Ph.D. student at Department of Computer Science, Stony Brook University. My advisor is Prof. Himanshu Gupta, and I also work with Prof. Jie Gao. I obtained my M.S. degree from Stony Brook University in 2005, and my B.S. degree from Nanjing University of China in 2003, both in computer science.

 

My research interests focus on wireless networks, embedded systems and algorithms. In particular, I am interested in wireless sensor networks. The topics I am working on include query processing, information dissemination and retrieval, topology discovery, etc.

 

I am expected to graduate in 2008. Currently, I am looking for both academic and industrial jobs. Here are my CV (pdf, html), research statement and teaching statement.
