I received BE and ME from Huazhong University of Science and Technology and PhD from National University of Singapore. My early career was mainly focused on CNC systems. I was the chief software architect and developer of Aerospace I CNC System, vice director of Numerical Control Institute of Huazhong University of Science and Technology between 1992 and 1995, and a co-founder of Wuhan Huazhong Numerical Control Co. Ltd. My current research areas include embedded systems, parallel and distributed systems, and wireless sensor networks.
