I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Software Engineering and Game Development at Kennesaw State University (KSU). I received my Ph.D. Degree from the Department of Computer Science at Georgia State University (GSU) under the supervision of Dr. Yingshu Li and Dr. Zhipeng Cai. I received my M.Sc. degree and B.Sc. degree from Beijing Normal University and Xiangtan University in 2019 and 2016, respectively.

My research interests span the areas of the Internet of Things, Generative AI, and blockchain systems. I have a specific interest in architectures and algorithms for enabling future high-fidelity, interactive, and trustworthy digital twin software systems.

🚀 Currently Recruiting:

I am looking for self-motivated undergraduate/graduate students with mathematical and programming skills to work with me on Internet of things, Human-AI interaction, Generative AI, and Blockchain related projects. If you are interested, please email me your CV and indicate your goals.
