Sept. 2023: Delivered a keynote on zero-touch wireless UAV networking at 5th IEEE Workshop on Wireless Networking, Planning, and Computing for UAV Swarms (SwarmNet) in Toronto.
Aug 2023: WINGS Lab received an NSF supplemental grant through the NSF-AFRL intern program to enhance the integration of our research in spectrum sharing for next-generation civilian and tactical wireless systems. Many thanks NSF and AFRL!
Aug 2023: WINGS Lab received an NSF supplemental grant to test new digital twin construction and intelligent spectrum sharing algorithms over the NSF PAWR platform AERPAW. Many thanks NSF, PAWR and AERPAW!
July 2023: Our SUNY IITG project "OpenIoTLab: The SUNY Laboratory Federation for Wireless Intelligent Internet of Things" was covered by UBNow News and Daily Sentinel.
I am an Assistant 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.
