About Me
I am currently a researcher in Ricoh Innovations (Menlo Park, CA). I received my Ph.D. from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, under the supervision of Klara Nahrstedt in the Multimedia Operating Systems and Networking (MONET) group. After graduation, I did a one-year post-doc with the interdisciplinary Center for Wireless & Population Systems at the at University of California, San Diego. I joined Ricoh in January 2013, and is based in Silicon Valley.
