Biosketch:

I am an Associate Professor in Computer Science at Missouri S&T, where I also serve as a faculty investigator in several research centers, including the Intelligent Systems Center (ISC), Center for Intelligent Infrastructure (CII), High-Performance Computing Center (HPCC), and Center for Biology Research (CBR). Prior to joining Missouri S&T in December 2019, I worked as a Scientist and Program Lead at A*STAR, Singapore's largest research institute. I earned my Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the National University of Singapore (#11 by QS, #19 by The Times, #26 by US News in the latest World University Rankings). My research focuses on the interplay of Machine Learning, Cybersecurity, and Internet of Things, exploring their synergetic potential at convergence. I am a member of AAAI and ACM, and a Senior Member of IEEE.

Systems

Besides theory, I am also passionate about developing real systems. I led a team to have developed the following mobile crowdsourcing / crowdsensing applications and made them freely downloadable at Apple Store and Google Play between 2014-2019.
