Abstract:
In this presentation, we first introduce the University of Waterloo, Canada, and the ECE Department and its research activities. We then discuss the issues related to antenna design, resource and mobility Management, and security and privacy preservation for Multi-Tier Wireless Networks.
Biography：
Sujeet K. Chaudhuri, Ph.D., P.Eng., was born in Calcutta, India on August 25, 1949. He graduated with a B.E. (Honours) Degree in Electronics Engineering from BITS/Pilani, and a M. Tech Degree in Electrical Communication Engineering from IIT/Delhi, India in 1970 and 1972, respectively. At the University of Manitoba, Canada, he earned MASc in Microwave Engineering, and PhD Degree in Electromagnetic Theory, in 1973 and 1977, respectively. In 1977 he joined the University of Waterloo , where he is currently a Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and was the Chair of Electrical & Computer Engineering Department from 1993 – 1998, 2007‐08 and the Dean of the Engineering Faculty from 1998‐2003. He has held a Visiting Associate Professor's position in the EECS Department of the University of Illinois at Chicago during the years 1981 and 1984, a visiting Professorship at the National University of Singapore in 1990‐1991, and the Erskine Fellowship at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand in 1998. In 2004, he visited the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) as BK‐21 International Fellow, and also was a visiting Professor at POSTECH, South Korea. He has been involved in Contract Research and Consulting Work with several Canadian and U.S. industries and government research organizations. In 2004, in recognition of his sustained outstanding scholarship and academic leadership, he was installed as the O’Donovan Research Chair of RF/Microwaves and Photonics at the University of Waterloo. Under his leadership, first as the Chair of the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department, and later as the Dean of the Engineering Faculty, the Faculty and the University experienced unprecedented growth. Research budget of the Faculty tripled, new buildings were added, new undergraduate programmes like Software Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering were successfully introduced, as well as many new graduate/research programmes were added. The Faculty is recognized as one of the best Engineering Education centres in Canada. As the Chair of the National Council of Deans of Engineering and Applied Sciences (NCDEAS), Prof. Chaudhuri provided new visions and progressive leadership to the Engineering Profession in Canada. Due to his initiatives, NCDEAS now enjoys a prominent consultative role with the Governments and the private sector in North America. Current research interests of Dr. Chaudhuri are in guided‐wave/electro‐optic structures, planar microwave structures, dielectric resonators, optical and EM imaging, fiber based broadband network and the emerging technologies based on the EBG/PBG‐nanostructures with potentials for Terehertz technology developments. He is a member of URSI Commission B, and Sigma Xi.
Xuemin (Sherman) Shen received the B.Sc.(1982) degree from Dalian Maritime University (China) and the M.Sc. (1987) and Ph.D. degrees (1990) from Rutgers University, New Jersey (USA), all in electrical engineering. He is a University Research Chair Professor and the Associate Chair for Graduate Studies, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo, Canada. His research focuses on mobility and resource management in interconnected wireless/wired networks, UWB wireless communications systems, wireless security, and ad hoc and sensor networks. He is a co-author of three books, and has published many research papers and book chapters in wireless communications and networks.
Dr. Shen serves as the Technical Program Committee Chair for IEEE Globecom'07, General Co-Chair for Chinacom'07, the Founding Chair for IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on P2P Communications and Networking. He is the Founding Editor-in-Chief for the Peer-to-Peer Networking and Applications Journal (Springer), and the Founding Book Series Editor - Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (Wiley). He also serves as a Founding Area Editor for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications; Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology; KICS/IEEE Journal of Communications and Networks, Computer Networks; ACM/Wireless Networks; and Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (Wiley), etc. Dr. Shen received the Excellent Graduate Supervision Award in 2006, and the Outstanding Performance Award in 2004 from the University of Waterloo, the Premier's Research Excellence Award (PREA) in 2003 from the Province of Ontario, Canada. Dr. Shen is a registered Professional Engineer of Ontario, Canada.
