Research Focus
Next-generation wireless communications, artificial intelligence, embedded systems, wireless security
About
My research interests are the design and experimental evaluation of next-generation wireless systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5/6G communications.
My technical expertise includes (i) FPGA-level embedded wireless system design; (ii) machine learning algorithms and frameworks; (iii) wireless communication standards and architectures; (iv) software-defined radio design and development.
I have been passionate about computers since a long time ago. I am a Linux user since 2000. I strongly believe in open source and sharing ideas with others. I am always open to collaboration — please contact me if you want to collaborate!
I am a member of the Roux Institute and the Institute for the Wireless Internet of Things at Northeastern University.
