I am a University 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 (Fellow of Chinese Academy of Engineering, elected in 2007). Prior to joining Goettingen, I worked with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Adam Wolisz as a 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. I was/am a visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge (host: Prof. Jon Crowcroft) in 2005 and 2007, a DAAD visiting professor at Columbia University (host: Prof. Henning Schulzrinne) in 2008 and 2009, and currently a Fulbright Scholar Visiting Professor at UCLA (hosts: Prof. Lixia Zhang and Prof. Mario Gerla). Since October 2008 I serve as the secretary of the Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC), IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc). I am a senior member of IEEE, a member of ACM and a member of GI.

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 virtualization, network security and resilience, system support for multimedia systems and mobile networking, including online social networks.

Projects:

My research team has been sponsored by European Commission, State Lower Saxony, Siemens, Nokia Siemens Networks, German Telecom, ETSI, Panasonic, Huawei, as well as German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), US Department of State, and Chinese Scholarship Council (CSC). In addition, we work in close collaborations with many national and international institutions and industry partners.

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:

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