I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Lehigh University. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Rutgers University. My research focuses on addressing real-world societal challenges within the Cyber-Physical paradigm, commonly referred to as Cyber-Physical Systems. Technically, my work combines ubiquitous/mobile sensing, spatio-temporal machine learning, and reinforcement learning to bridge the physical and cyber worlds, with feedback loops from the cyber to the physical domain. The applications of my research have been deployed and evaluated in various domains, such as intelligent transportation systems, logistics, on-demand gig economy, last-mile mobility, and smart cities.

I am actively looking for motivated graduate/undergraduate/visiting students to work in my lab. Please email me your CV and all the transcripts if you are interested.
