“Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.” — Christopher Morley
I am an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, also affiliated with the Center for Artificial Intelligence Foundations and Engineered Systems (CAFE) and the Institute of Networking and Security Research (INSR). Before that, I was a Research Staff Member in the Network Analytics Research Group at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, from 2007 to 2016.
I am an IEEE Senior Member and an ACM Member. I have served as Associate Editor for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking (2017-present) and IEEE Transactions on Communications (2017-2020), General Co-Chair for IEEE RTCSA (2023), TPC Co-Chair for IEEE ICCCN (2022), Area TPC Chair for IEEE INFOCOM (2021), multiple roles in the Organization Committee for MobiHoc and SIGMETRICS, and TPC member for many networking/distributed computing conferences such as MobiHoc, SIGMETRICS, INFOCOM, ICDCS, ICNP, IWQoS, WiOpt, Networking, and SECON.
I have published over 150 papers in refereed journals/conferences, 2 books, and 14 patents. My works received the 2021 IEEE Communications Society Leonard G. Abraham Prize, the Kenneth C. Sevcik Outstanding Student Paper Award at SIGMETRICS’15, the Best Paper Award at ICDCS’13, the Best Student Paper Award at ICASSP’05, and Best Paper Nominations at SmartGridComm’20 and IMC’13. I also received the Awards for Military Impact and Commercial Prosperity of Coreset Research by the International Technology Alliance (ITA) in Distributed Analytics and Information Science (DAIS) in 2021, the Most Collaboratively Complete Publications Award by the ITA in Network and Information Sciences (NIS) in 2015, the IBM Research Division Award for Scientific Advances in Quality of Information in 2016, and multiple Outstanding Contributor Awards and Invention Achievement Awards from IBM in 2007-2016, as well as 4 Distinguished TPC Member Awards from INFOCOM in 2016-2024.
