Short Profile

I am a PhD candidate in Institute of Computer Science, University of Goettingen and a member of Computer Networks Group. My supervisors are Prof. Xiaoming Fu and Prof. Dieter Hogrefe. From July 2007 to January 2008, I also affiliated with Microsoft Research Asia and Dr. Kun Tan was my mentor during the internship. Prof. Xiang-Yang Li also supervised my internship work on wireless network coding. I got my Mphil Degree with Prof. Lajos Hanzo from University of Southampton, UK.

Research Interests

The scope of my research interests includes the diverse topics of communications and networking with an emphasis on traffic engineering, congestion control, wireless network optimization, network coding and network security. I pursue an inter-disciplinary research effort that bridges different fields of communications, networking and information theory. My objective is to apply mathematical tools from those fields to build practical network solutions.
