Areas of Research Interests/ Research Projects
Mobile Ad-hoc Network
Computer Supported Cooperative Work
National Natural Science Foundation of China: Research on Model and Environment of Integrating Multiple Cooperative Manners (2008-2011);
National 863 High-Tech Program: Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network and its Applications in Smart Navigation (2008-2010).
Research Status
My research interests are mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). Currently, I am focusing on routing protocols, media access control (MAC), and applications of MANET. I am also reaching out to the research of distributed workflows and the flexibility of workflow. My research outputs include a multi-channel MAC algorithm, a power and rate-adaptive MAC algorithm, an energy-sensitive MANET routing protocol, and a pattern-oriented workflow planner.
Honors And Awards
