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/postdocs to join
their research program around October 2011, January 2012, fall 2012. The
students/postdocs will work on projects supported by the National Science
Foundation (NSF) Cyber-Physical-Systems (CPS) program, the NSF Global
Environment for Networking Innovations (GENI) program, the NSF CAREER
program, as well as industry partners such as GM Research.
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/postdocs with access to world-class facilities, real-world
experience, and ample opportunities of contributing to the research
community. Students/postdocs 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/postdocs 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/postdocs 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 or a
postdoc to conduct high-quality research, please feel free to contact Prof.
Hongwei Zhang http://www.cs.wayne.edu/~hzhang/, h*****[email protected]) 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. |
