Biography

Education: B.Eng. Northwestern Polytechnic University - China 1994 MENGR Northwestern Polytechnic University - China 1996 PhD Virginia Tech 2001 Being a faculty member is a privilege through which I can teach and mentor many students. My area of expertise is in computer engineering. More specifically, I conduct research on integrated circuits and embedded systems design for wireless communications, autonomous driving, and Internet of Things. I teach computer engineering courses at all levels from transistors, gates, circuits, processors, to computer systems. Courses I've taught include digital logic, VLSI design, HDL modeling, computer architecture, and reconfigurable computing. My experience in industry has helped me with both teaching and research. Before I returned to graduate school, I worked as an applications engineer and traveled around the world to visit corporate customers. After completing my PhD degree at Virginia Tech, I became a member of the technical staff at the Bell Labs of Lucent Technologies, where I worked on integrated circuits design for wireless communication systems. At the Embedded Computing Lab, I lead faculty and students to solve important engineering problems using creative ideas, architectures, algorithms, and designs. our goal is to build a better and more efficient world through research and innovations.
