News!

07/15/08 I graduate from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as a Master of Philosophy.

Biography

I am a Ph.D. student at Department of Computer Science, the University of Texas at Austin, from Aug. 2008. I am working in computer networking with Prof. Simon S. Lam.

I got my MPhil degree from Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Lionel M. Ni, a world-class computer scientist as well as a nice man. I also had collaborations with Prof. Yunhao Liu. The research topics there are mainly in Wireless Sensor Networks and Pervasive/Ubiquitous Computing.

I obtained my Bachelor's degree (highest honor) from Department of Computer Science, Nanjing University in 2006. I was a member of State Key Laboratory for Novel Software Technology, Nanjing University under the supervision of Prof. Jiafu Xu (see the wiki page of the pioneer computer scientist of China, Prof. Jiafu Xu) and Prof. Fangmin Song.

I graduated from Suzhou High School and Suzhou No.10 Middle School in 2002 and 1999, respectively.
