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, etc. Topics include Navigation Problem in sensor network, Top-k Query, Capacity (Throughput) study, Channel Assignment, Link Scheduling and TinyOS programming etc.
