I received B.E. degree in the Department of Software Engineering from Xidian University, China, in 2008. I got MPhil degree under the supervision of Prof. Lionel Ni in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST, in 2010. I am now working on Ph.D. degree with Prof. Suman Banerjee in the Department of Computer Sciences at University of Wisconsin-Madison. I received Google PhD Fellowship in Mobile Computing (2016 - 2018).
