Biography

I received B.Sc. degree in electronic engineering from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (Beihang University), Beijing, China, in 2003. I received M.E. and PhD degree in electrical engineering from the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, in 2006 and 2010, respectively. My research area was in physical-layer wireless communications. My research interests and expertise involve: information theory, error control coding (turbo and LDPC codes), iterative signal processing, multi-user communications (CDMA,IDMA,SDMA), MIMO-OFDM systems, wireless network coding and cooperative communications.
