Research Interest

My research interests lie in the area of wireless communication and networking, network secuity, data mining, cloud/fog/mobile edge computing and its applications in intelligent transportation systems, Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, etc., and next generation small cell networks (femtocells, cognitive radio femtocells, mmWave small cells, etc.). My work includes protocol design and performance analysis to provide fast, efficient, and secure mobility in emerging networks.
