University of Colorado Denver
I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science and Engineering at CU Denver. Before joining CU Denver, I received my PhD in Computer Science from North Carolina State University (NCSU) in 2025, supervised by Dr. Ruozhou Yu. I received my B.E. degree in Internet of Things Engineering from Taiyuan University of Technology, and received my M.S. degrees in Computer Science at University of West Florida and Taiyuan University of Technology.
I am actively looking for self-motivated students (PhD, graduate, and undergraduate) to conduct research on satellite networks, edge computing, network security, and the blockchain. Students interested in these research areas and considering joining my group at CU Denver are welcome to contact me via email. Please attach your CV, academic transcripts, publications (if applicable), and any additional materials that may strengthen your application.
