发帖数: 33 | 1 The Dependable Networking and Computing (DNC) Research Group at Wayne State
University (a Research-I university, the highest rating issued by the
Carnegie Foundation), USA is looking for talented students to join their
research program in January 2012 or fall 2012.
The DNC group explores new theories, methods, and systems building-blocks
for addressing dynamics and uncertainties in networked systems that involve
wireless networks, sensor networks, embedded networks, and the Internet.
Presently, with support from the National Science Foundation and industry,
they are especially interested in the modeling, algorithmic, and systems
issues in wireless, vehicular, sensor, and embedded networks. For instance,
with support from the NSF CAREER program and the NSF CPS program, they
investigate field-deployable mechanisms for reliable, real-time, and secure
wireless networking, and they investigate cross-layer approaches to taming
cyber-physical uncertainties in wireless networked sensing and control; as a
part of the NSF GENI program, they develop the theoretical and systems
foundations for experimentation and service provisioning in federated,
networked sensing. Their work has also provided foundational components for
several large scale wireless network systems including the NetEye
experimental infrastructure (which has 130 IEEE 802.15.4 nodes and 15 802.
11b/g nodes) and the DARPA sensornet project ExScal (which, with its 200-
node 802.11b mesh network and 1,200-node mote network, was the world's
largest wireless sensor network and 802.11b mesh network deployed at its
time). For more information about their research, please visit the website
of Prof. Hongwei Zhang at http://www.cs.wayne.edu/~hzhang/.
By focusing on high-quality research, and by collaborating with other
research groups in academia (e.g., Ohio State University, Michigan State
University, and The University of Texas-Austin) and industry labs (e.g.,
Ford Research, GM Research, and Motorola Mobility), the DNC group provides
students with access to world-class facilities, real-world experience, and
ample opportunities of contributing to the research community. Students in
the DNC group will be supported financially in various forms, such as
Fellowship, Graduate Research Assistantship, and Graduate Teaching
Assistantship. Being in a strong department at an urban research university,
students can enjoy a great life experience on campus at the cultural center
of Detroit, Michigan. (On a related note, The Scientist has recently ranked
WSU as one of the best academic institutions to work in USA.)
The DNC group is looking for students who have strong academic background,
are self-motivated and goal-oriented, and can take initiative in executing
research plans. Experience in systems building and mathematical modeling,
experience in original research, and/or a Master degree in related fields (e
.g., Communication Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, and Electrical
Engineering) will be a big plus.
If you are interested in joining the DNC group as a Ph.D. student to conduct
high-quality research, please feel free to contact Prof. Hongwei Zhang http://www.cs.wayne.edu/~hzhang/ and share with him your background, career plan, and expectations for Ph.D. study. Prof. Zhang will call or email you if there is a good match between you and his group. |
