Zhi-Li joined the Department of
Computer Science and Engineering at
University of Minnesota in January
1997, where he is now a Full Professor. He received his M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in computer science from the University of Massachusetts in
1992 and 1997 (Ph.D thesis advisors, Profs. Don Towsley
and Jim Kurose. Zhi-Li
graduated with B.S. in Computer Science with highest distinction
from Nanjing University, Nanjing,
China. While a junior student at Nanjing, Zhi-Li led a team of
senior students for their senior design projects. He was one of five
students selected for
graduate study exempted from the graduate school entrance exam
at Nanjing University. Shortly afterwards, he was awarded a highly
selective fellowship from the Chinese National
Committee for Education for graduate study in Europe, and studied at
the Computer Science Department,
Århus University, Denmark.
My research interests lie broadly in computer communication and
networks, Internet technology, multimedia and emerging
applications. While my past research was centered on the analysis,
design and development of scalable Internet QoS solutions to support
performance-demanding multimedia applications,
my current research thrusts focus primarily on i) building highly
scalable, resilient and secure Internet infrastructure and
mechanisms to enhance Internet service availability, reliability and
security; and on ii) developing next-generation, service-oriented,
manageable Internet architectures to provide better support for
creation, deployment, operations and and management of value-added
Internet services and underlying networks.
Some of ongoing research projects include:
I am leading the Networking
Research Group.
