I am an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical Engineering at University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. I received my Ph.D. in Communication and Information Systems from Shandong University in China in 2010. I was a visiting Ph.D. student at University at Buffalo from 2009 to 2010. I also worked at University at Buffalo 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 in Boston, MA, from 2015 to 2018. I direct the Wireless Intelligent Networking and Security (WINGS) Lab at University at Buffalo, focusing on research and technology transfer in zero-touch theories and algorithms, new spectrum technologies, wireless network security, testbed design for future networks, and printable electronic circuits.
