I am a professor of Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Northeastern University, China. I received my B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. from Northeastern University, China, in 2005, 2008, and 2012 respectively. During my Ph. D. study from Aug. 2009 to Apr. 2012, I had spent 2.5 years working in Multimedia Networking & Internet Lab at University of Massachusetts Amherst as a visiting Ph.D. student. Before joining Northeastern University, I was a Research Intern at HP Labs China.
