I am currently an Assistant Professor of Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR). Before joining AIR, I was a Senior Researcher in the Systems Research Group at Microsoft Research Asia.
My research interest is mobile intelligence. I’ve published in premier venues of mobile computing, artificial intelligence, and software engineering, including several award-winning papers in UbiComp, MobiSys, etc. Some of the papers have become popular open-source tools (DroidBot, PrivacyStreams, AutoDroid, etc.).
I’m recently enthusiastic about building Mobile Agents (AI agents on mobile devices) powered by on-device LLM. Check out our position & survey paper.
For AIR Summer Camp Applicants: I'm sorry that I could not reply each application due to limited time. The PhD/Master slots in my group have been filled. Please email me if you are interested in RA/internship opportunities.
