Assistant Professor · University of Pittsburgh

Longfei Shangguan

I lead the Pittsburgh Experimental Research Group (PERG). Our work sits at the intersection of computing, sensing, and wireless communication to enable robust, human-centered intelligent systems.

I am also a Visiting Faculty Researcher at Google.

Before joining Pitt, I worked as a postdoctoral research associate at Princeton and later as a senior researcher at Microsoft. I received my PhD in Computer Science from HKUST in 2015.
