I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Alabama and direct the Wireless, Mobile and Networking Research Lab (WiMaN).  I received my Ph.D.degree in Computer Science from the University of California at Los Angeles in 2003. Earlier, I obtained my MS degree from Computer Science Department, Zhejiang University, P.R. China. My research interests include mobile and wireless networks, future wireless Internet, wireless sensor network and high performance networks. Current research covers mobile ad hoc networks, wireless Mesh networks, vehicular networks, disruption tolerant networks and wireless sensor networks. My current research activities focus on routing, mobility, privacy, security, monitoring, MAC, QoS and bio-inspired communications. My research is (has been) supported by NSF and the University of Alabama Research Advisory Committee award (2005).   For details of the projects and publications, please visit the Lab.
