So far, his research has resulted in 20 refereed journal papers (with 10 papers published or accepted for publication in IEEE/ACM Transactions or Journals), 5 refereed conference papers, 2 scientific books, and 1 patent. He has co-authored research publications with excellent researchers from 12 different universities, and has been invited to contribute four overview articles published in IEEE Communications Magazine (IF=10.356) and IEEE Networks (IF=7.503). He has been serving as an executive associate editor for Springer Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications from 10/10/2013, guest editor for ACM/Springer Mobile Networks & Applications Special Issue on Deep Learning for Big Data Analytics in 2018, and also serving as a TPC Vice Chair for IEEE IUCC 2017 and GreenCom 2017. Besides, he has served as a TPC member for several important conferences such as IEEE INFOCOM 2018/2017/2015, HPCC 2019/2018, DSS 2018, ICC 2018/2017/2013, GLOBECOM 2019/2016, IUCC 2019/2018/2017, CIT 2017/2016/2015, CPSCom 2017, SmartData 2018/2017, GreenCom 2017, and WNM-2015, and as a reviewer for more than 20 various prestigious journals, including IEEE/ACM JSAC, TMC, TSC, TII, TSUSC, and ToN, etc.

Dr. Huang is currently looking for highly self-motivated PhD/MS/undergraduate students who are strongly committed to multi-disciplinary research on AI, NFV, SDN, IoT, and Future Networks. Candidates are expected to have solid background in programming, mathematics and writing in English. If you are interested and have the right background, please feel to contact Dr. Huang via email hjhuang@hust.edu.cn.
