I received my B.S and M.S. from Tsinghua University in 1998 and 2000, respectively. I received my Ph.D. from Princeton University in September 2005. My PhD advisor was Prof. Niraj K. Jha. I was with NEC Labs, America, for the summer of 2003 and with Microsoft Research for the summers of 2004 and 2005.  Although I worked on diverse research topics, my dissertation is about “Energy-efficient mobile system design: The user’s perspective.” I joined the Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Rice University as an assistant professor in September 2005. At Rice, I lead the Efficient Computing Group to make computing, communication, and interfacing more efficient and effective. Please visit Efficient Computing Group homepage for more information regarding my research. I received the AT&T Asian Pacific Leadership award in 2000 and the Harold W. Dodds Honorific Fellowship from Princeton University for the last year of my doctoral study. My students and I received the best paper award from ACM MobileHCI 2007.
