About me

Hello! I’m an incoming Assistant Professor at the Bellini College of Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Computing at the University of South Florida (USF).

I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University, where I worked in the INSS lab, under the supervision of Dr. Huacheng Zeng. Previously, I received my M.Eng. degree from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University.

Openings

I am actively seeking self-motivated Ph.D. students to join my group in Spring 2026 or Fall 2026. A strong background in wireless sensing, wireless networking, and deep learning is highly desirable.
