I received my B.Sc. and MS.C from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) respectively in 1982 and 1987, and my Ph.D. in 1994 from the Department of Electronics Engineering in Helsinki University of Technology.

Research Cooperation

In last ten years, I have made several Nokia strategic important and impact university cooperations in China.

1.Nokia-BUPT cooperation made records in China (1997 - )

• First Nokia university cooperation in China
• Made 6 patents, tens of patent apps, more than 200 publications, and tens or hundred recruits

2. Build the world first nation-wide IPv6 research network in CERNET (1999 – 2002)

• Led Nokia becoming the well known IPv6 research leader in China.
• Successfully driven several IPv6 standards into Chinese standards.

3. Build competence of Symbian/S60 in China universities (2003-)

• Mass impacts on the communities (tens of thousands participants from 20+ top universities)
• Produced high quality R&D for Nokia and the IT industry (e.g. Application UI SW for Business Card Reader integrated into Nokia N90 product, first ever from university)

4. Establishment of Nokia Postdoc Station (2004.5)

• Made Nokia China recognized the global leader of open innovation
• The most effective, flexible talent resource model made a dozen postdoctoral researchers contributing to NRC Beijing research

5. Establishment of Nokia-Tsinghua Research Framework – Joint Research Lab (2007.5)

• New open innovation model first ever in Nokia China enables Tsinghua professors and students and Nokia researchers work together towards co-creation model of research at a joint facility
• Become few most critical important initiatives both in local and global.

6. Establishment of Nokia-China Academy of Sciences Research Framework (2007.7) and BUPT (2007.7)

• Increase efficiency of research cooperation management and impacts

Patents and patent pendings

I have a dozen of patents granted and tens of patent applications

Publications

I am author and co-author of more than 160 conference and journal papers, and 4 books and book chapters. I have also actively given technical presentations, talks and keynote speeches in numerous scientific and industry forums/workshops/conferences/symposiums/seminars each year. Recent publication lists on wireless sensor networks are below.
