| Zhao, Qing ORGANIZER: Zhao, Qing | |
| This session focuses on networking perspectives of wireless sensor networks. Specific topics include cooperative communications in large-scale sensor networks, distributed scheduling protocols, and optimal sensor activation schemes. The focus is cross-layer design for the efficient use of resources (energy and bandwidth) and the specific application of the network. | |
| Qing Zhao received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2001 from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY. From 2001 to 2003, she was a communication system engineer with Aware, Inc., Bedford, MA. She returned to academe in 2003 as a postdoctoral research associate with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Cornell University. In 2004, she joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UC Davis where she is currently an assistant professor. Her research interests are in the general area of signal processing, communication systems, wireless networking, and information theory. Qing Zhao received the 2000 IEEE Signal Processing Society Young Author Best Paper Award. She is an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing and an elected member of the Signal Processing for Communications technical committee of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. She is the lead guest editor for IEEE Signal Processing Magazine Special Issue on “Resource-Constrained Signal Processing, Communications, and Networking” and a co-editor of a book on “Wireless Sensor Networks: Signal Processing and Communications Perspectives” to be published by John Wiley and Sons, Inc. | |
