发帖数: 33 | 1 Prof. Hongwei Zhang at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
of Iowa State University (ISU) is looking for Ph.D. students to join his
research group in spring/summer/fall 2018. Students will have opportunities
to participate in ambitious, ground-breaking research in wireless network
systems and their applications in AR/VR, connected and automated vehicles,
smart grid, Industry 4.0, smart agriculture, and IoT as well as cyber-
physical-human systems in general. The research is supported by the U.S.
National Science Foundation and industry partners.
Iowa State University (ISU) is a leading research university, and its
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has over 100 years of rich
and distinguished history. For instance, individuals from the department
have pioneered the world's first electronic digital computer, encoding
process for fax machines, world's first portable phone, medical ultrasound
technology, first handheld scientific calculator, and infant respiratory
augmentor. (See http://www.ece.iastate.edu/the-department/history/). Being in a college town while having the convenience and energy of larger cities, students will also have a great life experience on campus in Ames, Iowa.
Prof. Zhang’s research explores modeling, algorithmic, and systems issues
in wireless sensing and control networks as well as their applications in
augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR), smart agriculture, connected
and automated vehicles, smart energy grid, industrial IoT, and cyber-
physical-human systems in general. Besides publications, his work has
provided foundational components for several wireless network systems,
including the emulation system and software-defined innovation platforms for
connected and automated vehicles, cellular research networks, federated
sensor networks, and DARPA sensor network systems “A Line in the Sand” and
“ExScal” (which, with its 200-node mesh network and 1,200-node mote
network, was the world's largest wireless sensor network and mesh network
deployed at its time). For more information about Prof. Zhang’s research,
please visit his website at http://www.ece.iastate.edu/~hongwei/.
By focusing on high-impact research and by collaborating with other research
groups in academia and industry labs, Prof. Zhang’s research group
provides students with access to world-class facilities, real-world
experience, and ample opportunities of contributing to the research and
engineering communities. Past Ph.D. students of the DNC group have become
thought leaders in their fields and have become leading innovators at
organizations such as GM Research, Ford Motor Company, Facebook, Marvell
Semiconductor Inc., Juniper Networks, Fortinet Inc., National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, Yale University, and Texas A&M University.
Prospective students are expected to have strong academic background, are
self-motivated and goal-oriented, and can take initiative in executing
research plans. Experience in systems building, mathematical modeling, and/
or research will be a plus. Students will be supported financially in
various forms, such as Fellowship, Graduate Research Assistantship, or
Graduate Teaching Assistantship.
If you are interested in joining the Prof. Zhang’s group, please contact
him http://www.ece.iastate.edu/~hongwei/, [email protected]) and share with him your background (including, but not limited to, resume and transcript), 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.
