Background and Research Interests:

“I received the B.S. degree in electrical and information engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2012 and the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, in 2014.

I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ. My research interests include distributed computation in wireless sensor networks, performance analysis of distributed consensus algorithms and wireless communications.”
