Biography
Dr. Linwei Niu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Howard University. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of South Carolina in December 2006, his M.S. degree in Computer Science from State University of New York at Stony Brook in December 2001, and his B.S. degree in Computer Science and Technology from Peking University, Beijing, China in July 1998. Before joining Howard University, he worked as a faculty member at Claflin University, California State University Bakersfield, and West Virginia State University. Dr. Niu’s research interests include real-time embedded systems, design automation, energy-efficient computing, low power design, software/hardware co-design, cyber-physical systems, ubiquitous and pervasive computing, and parallel and distributed systems.New! I am looking for self-motivated Ph.D., Master, and undergraduate students. If you are interested in my research and working with me, please send me your CV.
