About Me

I am an assistant professor at Computer Science Department, North Dakota State University. Before joining NDSU, I earned my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Arizona State University. I was a member of the Optimization and Networking Research Laboratory, which is headed by Professor Guoliang Xue. My Erdos Number is 3.

Research Interests

Routing, Scheduling and Cross-Layer Design in Wireless Networks

Localization, Placement and Coverage Issues in Wireless Sensor Networks

Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing

Survivable Design of Communication Networks

QoS Provisioning in Communication Networks

I am interested in self-motivated students or visiting scholars who would like to work on algorithms, networking, security and privacy in the context of pervasive, mobile, wireless computing systems.
