I am a Staff Research Scientist at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, NY, USA. Before joining IBM, I received my Ph.D. from Imperial College London, United Kingdom, in 2015.
My current research focuses on the theory and practice at the intersection of distributed computing, machine learning, networking, and optimization, with a broad range of applications including data analytics, edge-based artificial intelligence (Edge AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and future wireless systems. I was an early contributor to edge computing and federated learning, where my work has generated both academic and industrial impact. I received the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) Leonard G. Abraham Prize in 2021, IEEE ComSoc Best Young Professional Award in Industry in 2021, IBM Outstanding Technical Achievement Awards (OTAA) in 2019, 2021, 2022, and 2023, multiple Invention Achievement Awards from IBM since 2016, Best Paper Finalist of the IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) 2019, and Best Student Paper Award of the Network and Information Sciences International Technology Alliance (NIS-ITA) in 2015.
I serve as an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing and IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems. I have also been actively organizing workshops at the intersection of edge computing and machine learning, and regularly participate in technical program committees (TPCs) of prominent conferences and review panels of research grants. In addition, I frequently collaborate with students and faculty members at academic institutions and have led multi-organizational research projects.
