Curriculum Vitae

I was born in Taicang, China, in 1981. I studied for my Bachelor's degree on Information Engineering in the Department of Radio Engineering, Southeast University, China, from 2000 to 2004.

After receiving my Bachelor's degree, I studied for a Master's degree in University of York, UK from Oct, 2004 to Jan, 2006, in the Bio-inspired Architecture Laboratory, Intelligent System Group, Department of Electronics. The research area is bio-inspired fault-tolerant design, and the title of the thesis is: A Novel Development Model for Robust Fault-Tolerant Design.

From February, 2006, I am a PhD student of the PATS (Performance Analysis of Telecommunication Systems) Research Group, University of Antwerp, Belgium. Meanwhile, I am also working as a researcher for the IBBT (Interdisciplinary institute for BroadBand Technology). My research interest includes Adaptive and Dependable Systems, rule based system, service oriented architecture and ambient assisted living.
