Academic Achievements
- In 2002, received the NSF CAREER Award for his research on resource discovery and mobility modeling in large-scale wireless networks (MARS). He has won several best paper awards, including ACM MobiCom SRC winner in 2007, ACM MobiCom WiNTech demo winner in 2010, etc. He has led multiple NSF-funded projects (including MARS, STRESS, ACQUIRE, Aware, and MobiBench). Served as associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing (TMC), area editor of the IEEE Computer, Adhoc Networks Journal - ElSevier, and chaired many leading IEEE and ACM conferences. Elected as an IEEE Fellow in December 2018, for contributions to routing protocol design and mobility modeling. Also, a Distinguished Scientist of the ACM since November 2014.
Research Experience
- Currently, Associate Dean for Research at the College of Computing & Informatics (CCI) at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Charlotte. Co-founder and co-director of the AI4Health Center at Charlotte (for human digital twins and computational health), and serves on the deans council for the PreMiEr NSF ERC. Previously, he was a Professor & Graduate Director at the CISE Department at the University of Florida (UF), and Prof. of EE Department at USC '99-'06, where he founded the Wireless Sensor Networks, and Protocol Testing Labs.
Education
