Brief Bio
|
I am currently looking for open positions in both academia and industry. Please find my application materials here.
I am a Research Fellow at the University of Michigan with Prof. Mingyan Liu. I completed my PhD from the University of Southern California in May 2009.
My research primarily focusses on protocol design and performance analysis of wireless networks, including mesh networks, vehicular networks and sensing systems.

Research Projects
|
I have worked on a variety of research projects varying from theoretical works on deriving fundamental
performance limits and modeling to pure systems like implementing rate control schemes
for wireless mesh networks and developing location based services for cellphones.
- Dissertation - Random Access is Good Enough to Build Wireless Multi-Hop Networks.
We formally show that it is possible to achieve the same degree of performance with IEEE 802.11 in multi-hop networks as the state-of-the-art approximations to optimal scheduling.
- Distributed Networked Computing over Wireless.
We address the challenge of fully-automated distributed in-network computing where complex network-wide computational tasks
are accomplished over a network of individually resource limited wireless nodes to facilitate real-time diagnosis and control.
- Contention-Aware Performance Analysis of Mobility-Assisted Routing Schemes for Delay Tolerant Networks.
We derive expressions for the expected delay of different routing schemes proposed for Delay Tolerant Networks, and use the analysis to answer several pertinent questions related to near-optimal routing in DTNs.
- Modeling spatially-correlated sensor network data.
We propose a Markovian model to capture spatial correlation in sensor network data, and verify it using real traces. Download Tools
- Building Location-based Services for Cellphones while Respecting User Privacy.
Unlike prior works to maintain privacy which tradeoff privacy and application quality, we explored an orthogonal tradeoff between privacy and resource usage.
- Structure of the Mobile Web.
We perform a statistical analysis of Mobile Web Data to understand its structural properties.
