Principal Investigator

Dr. Haoxin Wang (王昊鑫) is currently a tenure-track assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Georgia State University (GSU). Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, advised by Professor Jiang (Linda) Xie. He received his B.S. degree from Harbin Institute of Technology, China. Prior to joining GSU, Dr. Wang was a research scientist at Toyota Motor North America R&D, InfoTech Labs, leading the Edge Computing Roadmap. 

Dr. Wang’s research spans artificial intelligence (AI), mobile and edge computing, and efficient AI systems, with a focus on i) developing efficient learning algorithms and model architectures for large language models and multimodal AI, ii) designing adaptive AI systems through hardware-aware model optimization, runtime adaptation, and energy-efficient resource management, and iii) enabling AI applications in autonomous driving, AR/VR, and human-robot teaming. His research connects advances in AI models with practical deployment, aiming to make intelligent systems more capable, responsive, and sustainable under real-world resource constraints. Dr. Wang has had over 45 publications in his fields, including ICML, ICLR, EMNLP, ICDM, IEEE INFOCOM, ACM/IEEE SEC, IEEE SECON, ACM HotMobile, IEEE TMC, IEEE COMST, IEEE T-IV, IEEE TVT. He is also a co-inventor on 12 granted U.S. patents. His group’s work was recognized as a Best Paper Finalist at ACM/IEEE SEC 2025. Dr. Wang has served as an associate editor of Springer Multimedia Tools and Applications and IEEE Internet of Things Journal; a guest editor of ITU Journal Future and Evolving Technologies and MDPI Electronics; an organizor/TPC of international conferences in his fields such as IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE ICDCS, ACM e-Energy, ACM/IEEE SEC, AAAI, ACM HotMobile, IEEE MOST, IEEE MASS, ICCCN, IEEE VNC. He received the IEEE INFOCOM 2026 Distinguished TPC Member recognition.
