April 2025: I am honored to receive the Senior Teacher of the Year Award from the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) at the University at Buffalo.
Dec. 2024: Congratulations to Tenzin Rinchen for joining Google as a Cloud Consultant for Application Modernization.
Dec. 2024: Congratulations to Shreshta Shekar and Sindhu Thukkamuthu! Shreshta will join the Silicon Design Team at AMD as a Software Engineer, and Sindhu will join Synopsys Inc as an ASIC Physical Design Engineer.
I am an Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering at University at Buffalo (UB). I received my Ph.D. degree in Communication and Information Systems from Shandong University in China in 2010. I was a visiting Ph.D. student at UB from 2009 to 2010. I also worked at UB as a Postdoctoral Research Associate from 2012 to 2015. After that, I worked as an Associate Research Scientist with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University (Boston), from 2015 to 2018. I direct the Wireless Intelligent Networking and Security (WINGS) Lab at UB, focusing on research and technology transfer in zero-touch computing and networking, space-air-ground networking, wireless network security, software and testbed design for future networks, and printable electronic circuits.

Experimentation and Softwarization for Future Wireless Networks
The wireless research community still lacks a mature shared facility to support rigorous and repeatable experimental evaluation of wireless networked systems. The goal of this research is to address three grand challenges with experimental wireless research in diversity, generalizability, and accessibility by creating a grassroots campaign to democratize access to 5G/6G and IoT testbeds with heterogeneous hardware, software, and computing resources, spanning space, aerial, ground, underwater, and underground domains. |
