My Erdos number 
| Research |
I am a forth year Ph. D. student in the Computer Science Dept. at the Illinois Institute of Technology, advised by Dr. Xiang-Yang Li. I am working as a Graduate Student Researcher at the Wireless Networking Laboratory in the Computer Science Dept. and a Teaching Assistant of the CS Dept. as well. My research interests include design and analysis of algorithms concerning wireless networks, network security, and the designing and implementing of large-scale wireless sensor networks etc. Topics include Passive Tracking Problem, Navigation Problem in wireless sensor networks, Top-k Query, Capacity (Throughput) study, Channel Assignment, Link Scheduling and TinyOS programming etc.
