I am a Professor of Computer Science at the Institute of Computer Science, University of Goettingen and leading the Computer Networks (NET) Research Group. I received my Ph.D. (2000) degree in Computer Science from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, under the supervision of Professor Yaoxue Zhang. Prior to joining the University of Goettingen, I worked with Prof. Dr. Adam Wolisz as a postdoc research fellow at the Telecommunications Networks (TKN) group, Technical University Berlin  until September 2002. Between 2003 and 2005 I also served in the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) as an Expert in Specialist Task Forces in Internet Protocol (Version 6) Testing.

Research:

My research interests include the architecture, technology and protocols of  Internet-based communication systems; an overview of my work so far in these areas is briefly described in my curriculum vitae or research statement. I am currently involved in several collaborative research projects, addressing various aspects on the design, validation, implementation, performance evaluation and analysis of new network and distributed systems architectures, protocols and services, especially signaling and QoS, transport protocol performance, overlay and network virtualization, network security and resilience, system support for multimedia systems and mobile networking.

Teaching:

As detailed in my teaching statement, I've been indeed enjoying a great deal of pleasure having the opportunity in delivery of my knowledge and experiences to the young elite, sharing their excitement and satisfaction in knowing what, how, why and more, as well as learning new things for myself. I am responsible for several courses in systems and networking area, may they be introductory, intermediate or advanced (co-working with Prof. Hogrefe):

In most cases I am available in my office; to be sure please check my time schedule for making appointments with me.
