I am a Professor in Computer Science Department at University of California, Los Angeles. I am leading Wireless Networking Group (WiNG) at UCLA. My research interests include wireless networking, mobile systems, cloud computing and wireless and Internet security. Prior to UCLA, I graduated with a Ph.D. from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1999.
