News:
01/29/2017: I am looking for graduate research assistance on delay-constrained network analysis and protocol design.
08/21/2014: I am looking for graduate research assistance working on two possible projects: Project 1: Capacity characterization of practical network coding (reference 1, reference 2); and Project 2: Real-time network communications. (reference 1, reference 2). For application, please contact me by email and set up an appointment.
Research Interests:
Network coding: Graph-theoretic capacity characterization of inter-session network coding, algorithmic applications of network coding, Shannon capacity characterization of wireless network coding, network coded feedback, and network-coding protocol design and implementation.
Coding Theory: Iterative decoding algorithms, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes, multi-phase multi-level codes, soft decoding algorithm for Reed-Solomon codes.
Information and Communication Theory: Multi-user detection using graph-based BP algorithms, dirty paper codes, and network information theory.
Signal Processing: turbo equalization and space time codes.
Control Theory: Optimal stopping theory.
Current Ph.D. students:
Jia Zhang (since 2015) working on rate-stability tradeoff of cyber physical systems.
Chih-Hua Chang (since 2015) working on network coding protocol design and analysis.
Pin-Wen Su (since 2017) working on delay-oriented channel coding.
Cho-Hsin Tsai (since 2017) working on delay-oriented networking.
