I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Oregon. I worked at Nokia Bell Labs in Dublin, Ireland previously, and held a permanent position of Member of Technical Staff in 2016. I received the Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) degree in computer science from University of Göttingen (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen) in Germany in 2014. I also worked as a Researcher at IBM Research in Beijing, China in 2010. My research interests are in the models, algorithms, and analysis for the optimization and control of distributed systems and networks. Centering on edge computing and cloud computing, I have been working on a range of problems such as resource allocation, service/data placement, workload scheduling, and energy efficiency.
