I received the B.E. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China, in 1994, the M. S. and Ph.D. degrees from George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, in 1998 and 2000 respectively.  From 1994 to 1995, I was in the MS program of the Department of Automation at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. From 1995 to 2000, I was a graduate research assistant in the Center of Excellence in Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C3I) of George Mason University. Since August 2000, I have been on the faculty of the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Michigan Technological University, where I am currently an Associate Professor.

 

My general interests are in the areas of communications, signal processing, detection and estimation. Specific areas of expertise have included statistical sensor array processing, adaptive filtering, target tracking, Bayesian inference, and decision network theory and applications. Current research topics focus on cognitive radio networks, ultra-wideband wireless communications, and distributed sensor processing and networking. I serve as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing. I was an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications from 2002 to 2008. I received a 2003 NSF CAREER award.
