I graduated in Jan. 2009 and joined NEC Laboratories America, Inc. since Aug. 2009. During my Ph. D. study in GWU, I worked together with Prof. Xiuzhen Cheng on Wireless Sensor Networks and Ad Hoc Wireless Networking. I got M.S. of Information Science from Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China in 1999 and B.S. of Computer Science and Engineering from Tianjin University in 1995. I was a visiting student in HiNRG of Johns Hopkins University from Jan. to Sep. 2006. I also visited College of Information Studies, University of Maryland during Fall 1999.

Research Interests

My research interests involve various topics on Wireless Sensor Networks and Ad Hoc Wireless Networking. The focus is on localized information processing in sensor networks, target/sensor localization, data aggregation and data mining in wireless sensor networks.
