Biography
I'm currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong. I recieved my PhD from Uppsala University, Sweden. Before joining CityU, I worked in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Northeastern University, China. My research interests include real-time systems, embedded systems, cyber-physical systems and internet-of-things. Apart form doing theoretical research, I'm also involved in some projects building cool stuffs (mostly IoT and end-device computing systems), together with my industry parteners.
