Associate Professor Department of Computer Science George Mason University Nguyen Engineering Building 4400 University Drive Fairfax, VA 22030 Email: bohan [at] gmu.edu Research Interests: Computer Networks, Mobile Computing, and Security & Privacy Recent Focus: Immersive Content Delivery, Human-AI Interaction, Multi-user Extended Reality, 5G and beyond, and Edge Computing

I am looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students with hands-on experiences to build practical networked systems for immersive video streaming, human-GenAI interaction, and extended reality. Research backgrounds in computer vision, graphics, and machine learning would be a plus. Please contact me if you are interested in working in my group.
