Prospective Students

I am always looking for self-motivated PhD students and postdoc scholars who are interested in wireless communications & networking, security & privacy, and quantum engineering. Full financial support in the form of research assistantship (RA) or teaching assistantship (TA) will be offered for qualified students. If interested, please send me your CV, transcript(s), and sample publications if any.

I hold joint position with CS and ECE Department. You can apply to either program depending on your academic background. Please refer to CS admission page [this link] and ECE admission page [this link] for the GRE/TOEFL requirements and other application-related information.

Must Read! The PhD admission is highly selective. There is a minimum requirement on your English scores (including each section score) and GPA. If you fail to meet the requirement, I discourage you from applying to our PhD program.
