PhD Candidate, Wireless Communications

Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

University of Delaware, Newark, United States

I am currently pursuing my PhD degree under the supervision of Professor Leonard J. Cimini, Jr and Professor Kenneth E. Barner. My research interests are in overhead-performance tradeoff in cooperative networks, optimization and distributed algorithms.

Master of Science, Computational Mathematics

Department of Mathematics and Econometrics

Hunan University, Changsha, China

I graduated from Hunan University in 2007, under the supervision of Professor Jinping Zeng. By using the special Schwarz method based on the domain decomposition method and multi-grid method, I established the convergence theory of the two-level additive Schwarz method and constructed the new distributed algorithm for a nonlinear obstacle problem.
