About Me

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, Riverside. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University in 2016.

Research in our lab centers around real-time, embedded and cyber-physical systems. Specifically, we aim to achieve safe, predictable, and efficient computing under uncertain environments, which is a critical area of research for the continued innovation and widespread usability of intelligent autonomous technologies including self-driving cars and smart health and agriculture. We seek opportunities at the intersection of real-time cyber-physical systems and modern parallel computing platforms, and develop novel system software, algorithms, modeling and analysis techniques as a key enabler to build reliable, efficient and usable systems in practice.
