Hao Zhou
I will join UT Dallas CS as a tenure-tracking assistant professor in the fall of 2026. My interests lie in developing AI wearable systems that sense and understand human behavior and health.
I received my Ph.D. from Penn State, advised by Prof. Mahanth Gowda. My research was recognized with several awards, including the Alumni Association Dissertation Award and the Best Paper Award for Edge IoT AI at IoTDI 2023. I was also selected for the ACM MobiSys Rising Star Forum. I have gained industry research experience at Samsung Research America and Microsoft Research Asia.
