Biography:
Suining He is currently working as the Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) (now the School of Computing), the College of Engineering, the University of Connecticut (UConn) since 09/2019. He is also an affiliated faculty member at the Connecticut Advanced Computing Center (CACC), the Connecticut Transportation Institute (CTI), the UConn Eversource Energy Center, the UConn Engineering for Human Rights Initiative (EHRI) across School of Engineering (SoE) and Human Rights Institute (HRI), and UConn Sustainable Global Cities Initiative (SGCI). He is the Founding Director of the UConn's Ubiquitous and Urban Computing Lab.
Before joining UConn, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Real-Time Computing Lab (RTCL), at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI during 11/2016 -- 08/2019. Prior to that, he also worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Multimedia Technology Research Center (MTrec), Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Hong Kong University of Science and Engineering (HKUST) during 09/2016 -- 10/2016.
Suining He received the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering (計算機科學與工程), Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), from the Hong Kong University of Science and Engineering (HKUST) in 08/2016, and the B.Eng degree (summa cum laude) in Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, and Automation (機械設計製造及自動化), the School of Mechanical Science and Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 06/2012. He was drafted through the HKUST CSE Postgradudate Student Early Recruiting Program (2011 Fall Shanghai Round). He is also a product from multiple innovation hubs under the Qiming College (啟明學院), HUST, and worked as an undergraduate researcher with the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in the WPI-HUST Collaborative Senior Design Project. He graduated (with the highest honors) from the Guangdong Province Innovation Class (省創新人才實驗班) in Physics/Maths of the Affiliated High School of South China Normal University in 06/2008.
Suining He received the NSF CAREER Award in 2023, Google Research Scholar Program Award in 2021, and two UConn Research Excellence Program (REP) Awards in 2022 and 2020, and held the Google PhD Fellowship in Mobile Computing in 2015, HKUST School of Engineering (SENG) PhD Research Fellowship Award in 2015--2016, and Hong Kong Telecom Institute of Information Technology (HKTIIT) Post-Graduate Excellence Scholarship in 2016. His scholarly works appear in WWW, SenSys, UbiComp, INFOCOM, TKDE, and TMC, and received the IEEE MASS Best Paper Runner-up Award in 2020 and IEEE RTSS Outstanding Paper Award in 2021. He was ranked among the Stanford's World's Top 2% Scientists in 2023. His core location-based service (LBS) technologies developed, patented, and transferred during his PhD studies have led to direct industrial and long-term societal impacts.

Hobbies (& Easter Eggs):
Despite fundamentally a tech geek, he played, for decades, basketball, soccer, table tennis, swimming, and cycling. He was very fortunate to witness the best years of Kobe Bryant (LA Lakers) and Thierry Henry (Arsenal FC). He won the silver/bronze medals in 1500m running in the middle school contests, and he won several city-level K-12 choral awards in the primary, middle, and high schools. He also has deep part-time research interests in History of Japanese Anime (from Tezuka Osamu, Hayao Miyazaki to Koyoharu Gotouge) and Robotics in Science Fiction (from Okawara Kunio to Shoji Kawamori). He was a fan of Gandamu Shirizu and Ginga Eiyu Densetsu, in addition to enjoying aviation models and Nikon D5500 for years. He was the lead Human-Robot Interaction programmer of the HUST Robotics Team that leads to 3 Gold, 3 Silver, and 1 Bronze National Competition Medals plus 1 University Competition Championship. He speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, and some Japanese, and a bit of Hakkanese, Teochew, and Korean, and he is actively learning Spanish.
