About

Xiao Fu

Mobile Systems & Wildfire

I am a Ph.D. Candidate of Computer Science at University of Southern California (USC). I'm honored to work with Prof. Barath Raghavan in the Networked Systems Laboratory. I received my undergrad degree from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT).

My research interests are community resilience, food security, wildfire mitigation, and other disaster responses through sensing nature, building artifacts, and engaging people.

  • System & Sensing Early Fire Mapping, Avalanche Search & Rescue, Sensing for Sustainability
  • Sustainability Edible Fire Breaks, Food Security, Wildfire Mitigation Optimization
  • Human-Computer Interaction Sustainable HCI, Community resilience
