I am a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Austin, and a member of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University in 2001. I spent 2001–2004 as a researcher at Microsoft Research, Redmond, and joined UT Austin in January 2005. In 2022, I joined Microsoft Research Asia as Assistant Managing Director, leading high-impact cross-disciplinary research in wireless communication, sensing, AI systems, and healthcare, and broadening collaborations across academia and industry with a strong focus on translational innovation.

I am a National Academy of Inventors (NAI) Fellow, ACM Fellow, IEEE Fellow, and ACM Distinguished Scientist. I received an NSF CAREER Award and a Google Faculty Research Award, as well as Best Paper Awards at ACM MobiSys'18 and IEEE ICNP'17, and Best Paper Runner-Ups at MobiSys'17 and MobiCom'11. A Ph.D. dissertation I supervised received the SIGMOBILE Best Dissertation Award in 2020. My current research focuses on wireless and mobile systems. I have served the community as Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer for SIGMOBILE; General Co-Chair for ACM MobiCom 2025, IEEE ICNP 2012, and WICON 2007; and TPC Co-Chair for ACM CoNEXT 2023, IEEE ICNP 2016, ACM MobiCom 2012, IEEE SECON 2011, and WICON 2006.

Looking forward, I aim to advance impactful research in sensing, communication, ML systems, and healthcare. I am grateful for the opportunity to mentor outstanding students, and welcome to reach out if you are interested in working together as students, postdocs, or research interns.
