I am a researcher in Networking & Network Research, Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent. I completed my Doctor of Science degree in Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Washington University in Saint Louis in 2006. I worked in Applied Research Lab as a research assistant from 2002 to 2006. My research advisors were Dr. Jonathan Turner and Dr. John Lockwood. I received the Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering from the same university in 2003 and Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electronics Engineering from Tsinghua University, China in 1997.  I worked in Celox Networks Co. as a staff ASIC/VLSI engineer from 2001 to 2002. Before that I worked in China National Key Lab of Digital & Microwave Communication as a  research assistant. I am a member of IEEE and ACM.
