Pervasive computing aims at creating environments
saturated with computing and communication yet gracefully
integrated with human users. Coined as the computer paradigm of
the 21st century, it is crucial to explore and understand
the relations between users, the space, and the pervasive
computing systems.
My primary research interest is to explore suitable
programming models for intelligent environments. As it is
essential to improve the productivity of programmers, raising
the safety and quality of pervasive systems, and creating an
open platform for interoperability.
Aside from this primary objective, I am also working on
establishing the performance evaluation framework, and
visualization tools for pervasive computing. My other
research interests include mobile computing, computer network
and Internet services.

There is no joy like watching people learn, as it is nothing
short of miracle to observe the crossing of the rubicon from
the wilderness of unknown to the land of knowledge. See the
little gears turning in the heads, and hear when it finally
clicks. To know you have contributed in leading the way,
igniting the spark, or giving the final push can be the most
satisfactory experience in life.
I have taught undergrad introductory C language, guest lectured
in graduate courses in mobile computing and sensor network, and
TA for upper undergrad level computer network. I mentored term
projects and independent studies, and also tutored in programming
language, network, math, circuit design, English and Chinese.

Participating in various services, both professionally and
personally, give you a chance to give back, a chance to
contribute, a chance to voice your opinion and perhaps a
chance to extend your horizon.
At the end of day, it is very comforting to know that, you,
may just have revealed a new future for a kid, have helped a few
colleagues improve and extend their work, have made a conference
a better gathering, and hopefully,
make acquaintance with a few more friends along the way.
