Academic Achievements
- 1. Four commercial spinoffs: one in wireless and three in healthcare. Recently, two of their patents were licensed to develop a new medical device. 2. Awards: Fellow of IEEE, ACM, and National Academy of Inventors; 2017 IEEE Jack Neubauer Memorial Award; 2018 IEEE Advances in Communications Award; 2019, 2021, and 2025 ACM Sigmobile Test-of-time Awards; 2019 ACM MobiCom Community Contributions Award; 2023 ICC Best Paper Award.
Research Experience
- 1. Wireless: Research directions include Joint Communications and Imaging (e.g., 4D100 and OneDegree projects), Learning-based Wireless Design (e.g., ETHOS, RFDataFactory, LARA, 3DML projects), and Open-source Research Platforms (e.g., RENEW, WARP, Houdini projects). 2. Health: Leads the Rice Digital Health Initiative and in Scalable Health Labs, develops methods to uncover behavior-biology causal pathways, applies speech and vision AI for health, and conducts many novel prospective trials. Current research directions include mental health, diabetes, cardiology, infectious diseases, and Parkinson's. Additionally, he is the Rice lead on NSF Engineering Research Center, PATHS-UP, which is developing cost-effective personalized technologies for under-served populations.
Background
- Research interests include wireless communication and health. In the wireless area, he focuses on both theory and experimental designs for next-generation wireless. In the health area, he combines machine learning, behavioral sciences, and medicine to improve healthcare outcomes.
Miscellany
- 1. Ernest Dell Butcher Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rice ECE. 2. Helped establish the Rice Digital Health Initiative and is the co-director of the newly established Houston Methodist-Rice Digital Health Institute. 3. Served as the ECE department chair from 2019-24, leading a significant department expansion and starting several new programs, including a completely revamped MECE program.
