I am currently a postdoctoral research associate in Network Research Lab (NRL), School of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), The University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia.

Previously, I received M. Eng. and B. Sci. from the School of Electronic Information, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China in 2003 and 2000 respectively.

Here is my resume, and Here is the Chinese version.

Abstract of my PhD thesis

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a promising technology for deploying wireless infrastructure to provide users always-on-line service anywhere anytime. In the future, high speed wireless meshes will enable a whole new range of exciting multicast applications, such as IP-TV and Video-on-Demand. When implementing multicasting in WMN, reliability becomes one of the major issues because: (1) the failure of nodes or wireless link may disrupt the multicast transmission, and (2) the lossy nature of radio communication causes random packet loss in wireless link. In this thesis, our main objective is to provide reliable multicast in WMNs with the minimum consumption of network resources. More specifically, we focus on protecting multicast session from above two categories of faults, node or link failure and opportunistic packet loss.
