Biography

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Florida. My research topics include routing, scheduling and cross layer design in wireless networks, optimization and algorithmic game theory and their applications in computer networks, complex social networks, and information networks. My Ph.D. dissertation is on the topic of "Dynamic Resource Allocation and Optimization in Multi-hop Wireless Networks" under the supervision of Prof. Yuguang (Michael) Fang.
