I am Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Department of Computer Science at the Loughborough University. I received my BEng, MPhil, and PhD degrees from City University of Hong Kong in 2005, 2007, and 2011 respectively. I am currently researching in the areas of network service composition and chaining, edge computing, stateful programmable data plane and network management.
My research has been mainly funded by The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Innovate UK include:
-
- IEoT: Intelligent Edge of Things, 07/2020-06/2022
- SYNC: Synergistic Network Policy Management for Cloud Data Centres, 4/2017-3/2018. http://www.sync-project.com
- Fruit: The Federated Raspberry Pi Micro-infrastructure Testbed, 1/2017-12/2018. https://fruit-testbed.org
I am accepting self-funded PhD student applications (including CSC studentship). If you’re interested in doing a PhD with me, please get in touch!
