Research Interests

My research interests span intelligent networked systems, including Cyber-Physical Systems, decentralized Internet of Things (IoT) systems, and Software-Defined Networks. I focus on developing AI-driven optimization and edge intelligence techniques to enhance communication, computing efficiency, and Quality of Service (QoS), especially in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, such as agricultural regions and smart cities.

Key Words: Edge Intelligence, On-device AI, Cyber-Physical Systems, Internet of Things, Network Management and Monitoring, Smart Agriculture

Openings

I am looking for motivated Ph.D. students to join my research group starting from Fall 2026. Fully funded positions are available. I also welcome KSU Master’s students and visiting students. Feel free to reach out via email if you’re interested, and include your CV, transcripts, and a short summary of your research experiences.

All applications are appreciated; however, only those deemed highly fitting will be contacted due to the high volume received.
