About

I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Oxford College of Emory University. My research focuses on mobile crowd sensing, edge computing, privacy, indoor localization, and bike sharing.

I received my Ph.D. from UNC Charlotte in 2019 under the supervision of Dr. Yu Wang. Before that, I earned my B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering from Xidian University in June 2012 and worked as a counselor at Xidian University for two years.
