| Research Interests |
My passion for R&D in computer science and electrical engineering originates from the strong belief that information technology continues changing our world significantly, contributing to the progression of human society. I enjoy building embedded systems and have strong interest in computer networking, signal processing, wireless communication and robotics that enable new commercial applications and explore potential research directions. My Ph.D. dissertation focuses on Range-free Localization and Tracking in Wireless Sensor Networks, which tries to explore effective methods for obtaining the position information of sensor nodes or in-field targets without potentially costly ranging efforts. |

| Biographical |
Current I am staring my fourth year as a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at
University of Minnesota under Prof. Tian He.
My recent research includes topics on localization, time synchronization, energy-aware computing, wireless networking. I developed the 360-node Mirage sensor testbed and co-developed the Twin-Star perpetual sensing platform.
During the short time gap between M.E. and Ph.D. (Jan. 2006 ~ Jul. 2006), I was invited to hold a R&D engineer position in the Shenzhen PowerCom Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRRF), Nanjing Research Center. I experienced the 802.16d WiMax Multi-sector Base Station project as the principle designer of the Network Processing Module and Ethernet Switch Module. I earned my Bachelor of Engineering (Jul. 2003) and Master of Engineering (Dec. 2005) in the Honor Class and Dept. of Radio Engineering, respectively, at Southeast University, Nanjing, China. My major areas were signal processing for wireless communication systems. I was an international exchange student (Sep. ~ Dec. 2002) with Prof. Vicente Traver Sacedo at the Bioengineering, Electronics & Telemedicine Laboratory in Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain. I was born in Yangzhou, one of the most charming cities in China with a long history of more than 2500 years. I graduated from the Yangzhou Middle School of Jiangsu Province. |
