My current research interests mainly include Distributed Systems, Cloud Computing, Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), and Deep Learning. Particularly, I am interested in algorithms development for resource management in MEC networks. My recent work mainly focuses on the following research issues:

• Parallel and Distributed Computing

• Cloud Computing Security

• Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)

• Machine and Deep Learning

• IoT Applications

• Resource Allocation in MEC networks.

• Scientific Workflow Management in Distributed Systems

• Task Offloading and Scheduling in MEC/Fog/Cloud
