Brief Bio

I am an associate professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at San Diego State University. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in Computer Science and Engineering Department at University of California,San Diego. I obtained my PhD degree from the same university in March 2015. I was a member of System Energy Efficiency Lab (Seelab). My research interests are context aware cyber-physical systems, energy-efficient systems, embedded devices, and the Internet of Things.

You can reach me at my SDSU email and view the details of my projects on my LinkedIn page. I worked in several large-scale research centers, including Multi Scale Systems Center (MuSyC), TerraSwarm Research Center, Center for Networked Systems (CNS) and the collaborators of my projects include Google, Microsoft, Panasonic, Intel, IBM.
