I am a second year PhD student in the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA. My primary research area is networking, under the supervision of Prof. Rahul Jain. My current focus is on developing a Network Market Design theory for resource allocation in various networks.

Miscellaneous
I am a lucky guy who was born in China, one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations, and who is pursuing his PhD in the United States, one of the world's most developed countries. My life experiences are even more exciting: 18 years in Shanghai, 4 years in Beijing, 3 years (and 3 years or so in future) in Los Angeles, all of which are vigorous international metropolises.
I am strongly sympathetic to the motto, "Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind." (Bertrand Russell)
My hobbies include:
Swimming: I choose swimming as the everyday exercise for weight loss.
Piano: I am teaching myself piano.
American sitcoms/comedy-dramas: Friends, Desperate Housewives, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, etc.
Astrology: I favor such mysterious stuff. Is it more about art or science? Whatever, just for fun (and gossips? ^_^)! BTW, my zodiac sign is scorpio.
Traveling: In the United States, I have been to San Francisco, Las Vegas, San Diego, D.C., Philadelphia, New York, Chicago, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, Austin and San Antonio.
