Biography

I am a member of the Sprint Applied Research Group at Burlingame CA, USA. My research interests include network measurement, performance optimization, network security, and data mining. My research topics span across various network layers and both wired and wireless networks. I received the B.S. degree in computer science from Tsinghua University, China, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of California, Davis.
