Congratulations: Our student Bridge Zhao received offers from UC Berkeley, Standford, CMU, Princeton, USC, UT Austin to pursue his PhD study.
Our former students, Joe W.J. Jiang, Gao Yan, Ray K. Lam and Chris Y.T. Ma, are pursuing PhD degrees (with financial support) at Princeton, Yale, Columbia, UIUC, Waterloo, Purdue, Waterloo,...etc. We wish them the best of luck in their Ph.d studies. :-)
To potential research students:
Yes, our research group is looking for some energetic and hardworking students/researchers !!!! Please send me email or come to my office for discussion.
If you are interested in mathematical or system research on networking, security and distributed systems, please come to my office and we can have a chat to see whether we have any common research interest.
We are currently looking for students with a strong background in mathematics and/or system.
For mathematical background, I'm looking for:
- probability and stochastic processes;
- background on algorithms and analysis;
- game theory,
- approximation algorithms,
- mathematical optimization techniques, ...etc.
System implies the following knowledge:
- strong in C or C++;
- good knowledge in Linux kernel;
- good knowledge in network programming, ...etc.
Beside having a strong background in mathematics and systems, we also expect
students to have the following qualities ( yes, we count these qualities to
be more important than your technical knowledge background ):
- diligent;
- high intellectual curiosity (e.g., willing and motivated to learn new things so as to expand one's intellectual horizon);
- have passion in doing "research".
Last but not least, the following is a famous quote by Calvin Coolidge (1872),
whose statement reflects our research style and expectation:
