I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oregon. I research edge computing and cloud computing as in distributed computer and telecommunication systems, networks, and services. Within this context, my work spans multiple themes: (i) edge and cloud infrastructures; (ii) distributed artificial intelligence; (iii) security and privacy; (iv) energy and transportation; and (v) social networks and multimedia. My research features the utilization of applied mathematics to lead the design and enhance the performance of practical systems. Through theories and principles of optimization, control, learning, and economics, my work involves performance modeling, algorithm design, theoretical derivations, and experimental studies for system efficiency, scalability, resilience, and sustainability. My papers mainly appear in top or prestigious journals such as JSAC, ToN, TPDS, and TMC and conferences such as INFOCOM, MOBIHOC, ICDCS, SECON, ICNP, and IPDPS.

I received the NSF CAREER Award, the Ripple Faculty Fellowship, the Best Paper Awards of IEEE LANMAN 2013 and IEEE CNS 2019, and the Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs UK and Ireland Recognition Award. I have been on the technical program committees of many conferences, including INFOCOM (Distinguished Member), MOBIHOC, ICDCS, WWW, and IWQoS. I have also served as the program chairs of multiple symposiums/workshops with INFOCOM and ICDCS and as a guest editor of JSAC.

Previously, I worked at Nokia Bell Labs in Dublin, Ireland as a member of technical staff and at IBM Research in Beijing, China as a researcher. I received the Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) degree in computer science (Informatik) from the University of Göttingen (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen), Germany.
