Welcome to my homepage!
I'm currently pursuing my Ph.D. degree in Electrical
Engineering, under the supervision of Prof. Alhussein A. Abouzeid.
Before joining Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), I obtained my
M.S.E.E. at the University of California,
Riverside (UCR), supervised by Prof.
Yingbo Hua, M.S. in
high performance computation at Singapore–MIT
Alliance (SMA), National University of
Singapore (NUS), and B.E. in Electrical Engineering at Southeast University
(SEU), Nanjing, China. From 2002 to 2003, I was a co-op student at
Communication and Devices Division, Institute
for Infocomm Research (I2R), Singapore .
In 2005, 2007 and 2008, I worked as a summer intern at Network Advanced
Technologies Group, Motorola Inc., Arlington Heights, IL, Digital
Communications Group, Mitsubishi Electric
Research Labs (MERL), Boston , MA , and Wireless Networking Business Unit, Cisco
Systems Inc., San Jose
, CA , respectively.
My research interests lie in the areas of wireless communications
and networking, including stochastic control and optimization for wireless
networks, cooperative communications in mobile ad hoc networks and wireless
sensor networks, and ultra-wideband communications. My Ph.D. thesis topic
is "Information Transport in
Wireless Ad Hoc Networks: Capacity, Control and Optimization".
Other research projects that I have completed include:
- Low-Complexity Synchronization in Multi-band OFDM UWB systems
(MERL, 06/2007 - 08/2007)
- Adaptive Channel Tracking in OFDM systems (Motorola, 06/2005 -
09/2005)
- Routing and Forwarding Strategies in Wireless Relay Networks
(UCR, 07/2004 - 06/2005)
- Interference & Coexistence Issues of UWB with other
narrowband systems (I2R, 12/2002 - 06/2003)
- Joint Iterative Channel Estimation and Decoding in WCDMA
systems (SEU, 07/2001 ~ 07/2002)
