I’m an Assistant Professor holding the Temasek Professorship in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, where I lead the Avant Lab. I previously held the NUS Presidential Young Professorship. My research focuses on next-generation wireless systems and space networks. Before joining NUS, I was a researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond. I received my Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University.

Hiring: I am seeking well-motivated Ph.D. students, as well as master's and undergrad interns, to work with me on exciting wireless systems research projects. I am also hiring postdoctoral researchers; please email me at wang@nus.edu.sg if you’re interested.


Our work has received research highlights three times in Communications of the ACM and ACM SIGMOBILE, the best paper and demo at UbiComp, the best paper at IPSN, and has been selected for Microsoft's accelerating foundation models program. I am a recipient of the acm sigmobile doctoral dissertation award, the microsoft research fellowship in North America, and the inaugural Emerging Rockstar at IEEE Pervasive Computing.
