Wei Sun Publications - Services - Awards - Teaching - Group Assistant Professor (starting in Fall 2024) School of Computing Wichita State University wei.sun@wichita.edu Head of the Wireless and Mobile System (WIMOS) Research Group I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA in 2022. Subsequently, I joined the Duke University and then University of California San Diego as a postdoctoral researcher. My research is in the field of wireless and mobile computing. I work on designing and building innovative wireless communication and sensing systems to tackle hard technical and societal problems from designing the hardware and software systems to the deployment and evaluation of these systems in real-world settings. Join us! I am looking for self-motivated students to join my research group. If you want to join us, please fill out this form, which asks you about your research interests, level of commitment, and availability. Why WSU?
