Short Bio

I am currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Before joining Rose-Hulman, I received my Ph.D. in 2018 from Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, where I was advised by Prof. Aaron Striegel. Prior to my Ph.D., I completed my M.S. in Computer Science from Ball State University, IN, under the mentorship of Prof. Shaoen Wu, and I hold a B.E. in Electrical Engineering from Wuhan University, China.

Research Interests

My current research interest centers around autonomous vehicles, robotics, and data-driven multidisciplinary research. I have broad experience in ML/AI topics including reinforcement learning, contrastive learning, probabilistic graphical models, and foundation model applications. Prior to joining Rose-Hulman, my portfolio included substantial work in wireless networking and mobile computing, with particular emphasis on WiFi/LTE network bandwidth measurement and PHY/MAC cross-layer designs.
