I am a researcher in Wireless and Networking Group. In the past, I have been working in various areas in networking field, including multimedia transmissions, transport layer, routing, and data center networks. I designed the Compound TCP protocol, which is in latest Windows Operating Systems. I am now leading wireless research in WN group. I led the development of Sora, a high-speed software radio platform based on general purpose multi-core processor. I have broad interests in networking, data communication and wireless technologies. You can find a short bio of me here.
I am now looking for good research interns. If you are a self-motivated student and want to work on wireless networking research, please contact me via email.
