My research interests lie in the broad areas of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), including security estimation and control in CPS, Mobile Internet of Things, and MIMO Wireless Systems. In particular, my recent and current research efforts focus on the following fronts of research topics.
First, many current critical infrastructures such as power grids, transportation systems, and medicine systems is emerging with the tight integration of physical processes and cyber world. Due to the crucial role of cyber-physical systems in everyday life, cyber-physical security needs to be promptly addressed. Particularly, we are interested in the security estimation and control of power grids.
Second, I am interested in open problems in Mobile Internet of Things, including smart camera networks, crowdsourcing and mobile computing, particularly application-layer solutions for industrial surveillance systems and mobile sensing with smartphones.
Third, I am interested in open problems in MIMO Wireless Systems, including IEEE 802.11n/ac and 4G/5G Cellular networks. A long-term view is to develop basic theory and application prototype system for underpinning green communication.
