Bio
I am an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science and Technology at Kean University, Union, NJ, USA. I received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ, USA, in 2017, and the M.S. degree from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Daejeon, Republic of Korea, in 2008.
I was a member of the Laboratory for Networked Systems and Security (Disco Lab) and my research adviser is the late Dr. Liviu Iftode and Dr. Badri Nath. I was with the Telematics and USN Research Division, Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), as a research intern during my master's program. I worked as a research staff at the UWB Wireless Research Center, Inha University, and Network Media Management and Optimization Lab, Yonsei University.
My current research interest includes cyber-physical systems, systems & networking, wireless & sensor systems, u-health networks & applications, mobile & vehicular computing, and smart transportation.
