Some Past Projects

My research interests lie in the broad areas of general distributed systems and wireless Internet technologies, including next-generation wireless networks and systems, cognitive and cooperative wireless networking, sensor networking, large-scale peer-to-peer systems, and multimedia communications. I joined HKUST in Sept. 2005, before that I had worked in Microsoft Research Asia for about 6 years. During the past 10 years, I had the opportunity to collaborate with many brilliant postgraduate students, visiting students, and excellent researchers, which is definitely the most valuable experience for me. The following is a brief description of my research activities.
