Associate Professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Missouri-Columbia

Tell us about yourself first

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Missouri (MU), where I serve as the director of the Dependable Cyber-Physical Systems Laboratory. Before joining MU, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford in the UK. I completed my PhD at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, in 2016. I am a Senior Member of IEEE and ACM.

What is the focus of your research?

The main goal of my research is to develop artificial intelligence (AI) that is safe, secure, trustworthy, and consumes low power at both the hardware and software levels.

How does your research benefit us, or how will it benefit us?

The rapid progress of artificial intelligence is transforming various fields such as autonomous vehicles, smart grids, smart industries, healthcare, and spatial computing devices (AR/VR/MR). However, deploying these safety-critical AI applications on resource-constrained (e.g., battery-powered) devices brings challenges in safety, security, and energy efficiency. Through my research, we can address these issues and bring fundamental changes to the design and implementation of reliable and trustworthy AI systems.

AI is now present everywhere—from smart appliances in our homes to autonomous vehicles and robots. My research makes it possible to ensure AI is safe, secure, and energy-efficient, thereby helping to protect the environment.

What qualities do you think a scientist should have?

Any scientist must possess a thirst for new knowledge and persistence. Failure will happen, but what we learn from it is the most valuable.
