Professional Experience Principal Research Scientist 07/2002-present CSIRO, Australia Designed one of the key patents for multi-band wireless backhaul in the Ngara project. The multi-band aggregation design achieved both work-conserving and in-sequence delivery, and was recognised as a gold standard solution by expert reviewers. The design has been patented and implemented in the Ngara backhaul system. The Ngara project has attracted $10Million from the Science and Industrial Endowment Fund, and has won the Australian Engineering Innovation Award 2013 and the CSIRO Chairman's Medal 2012. The patented backhaul technology was licensed to EM Solutions, an Australian company, to build the fastest and most secure wireless network for an international service provider, which is worth tens of millions. Made a breakthrough in WLAN performance analysis by creating a 3-D Markov chain, which integrates the IEEE 802.11 system contention resolution and queueing process into one model. This 3-D Markov chain is the first theoretical model that is able to characterise the complete Quality of Service (QoS) measures in IEEE 802.11 systems. This work represents a significant contribution in Markov analysis of WLAN networks. The theory has since been extended and applied in other areas, including LTE relay handover, WLAN localization, Smart Grid, and Machine-to-Machine Communications. A number of papers have been published in IEEE Transactions. Provided scientific leadership and delivered practical design solutions to broadband wireless networking research and development, including system architecture design, performance evaluation, QoS scheduling, and multiuser MIMO technologies. Conducted research in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) topology control, multi-hop routing, energy efficient reliability, and adaptive sampling. Worked with programmers to develop and demonstrate WSN routing and topology management software. Completed a number of industrial consultancies, including: evaluation of the distributed-input distributed- output (DIDO) wireless technology for Federal Government Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE).

Senior Research Scientist 07/1997 – 06/2002 Division of Telecommunications and Industrial Physics, CSIRO Australia Played a key role in the CeNTIE project by conducting feasibility study, technology evaluation, design and construction of the Foundation Network. CeNTIE was successful in bidding for $14 million funding under the Advanced Networks Program to build the next generation research network in 2000. Completed a number of industrial consultancies, including: CityRail Next Generation Network design and tender evaluations; Queensland Health network feasible technology and migration path identification; Qantas Intranet planning on traffic prioritisation, shaping and Quality of Service (QoS); Optus multicast functional requirements, capability assessment and technology roadmap. Completed Nortel DiffServ testbed design and supervised junior staff on traffic experiments. Identified a major bug in Nortel ATM prioritisation queues. This resulted in a design change to Nortel BayRS. Conducted Australian first 10 Gbps Ethernet trial, and identified an important design issue in Nortel QoS features. It attracted significant interests from Nortel high level management. This discovery enabled us actively involved in the QoS design of next generation Nortel switches. Led the designed of IP/ATM QoS solution for AARNet Voice over IP project. ATM traffic shaping and policing schemes were designed to guarantee voice quality and maximise bandwidth utilisation. The solution is tested and documented in a report delivered to AARNet.
Research Scientist 06/1995 – 06/1997 Division of Radiophysics, CSIRO, Australia Completed the design and configuration of MARSHNET – CSIRO Metropolitan ATM Network. Creative ideas and novel techniques were employed for network partitioning, bandwidth sharing and QoS guarantees using superimposed ATM virtual paths. Led the design and experiments of CSIRO to UNSW cross-link testbed architecture. Several DiffServ PHBs were mapped to multiple ATM VCs connecting the two sites realising traffic differentiation. Policy Based Routing and VC bundle techniques were implemented for traffic classification and routing.
Lecturer 09/1988 – 08/1991 Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China Taught Digital Telephone Switching Systems and Communication Networks courses. Co-authored a textbook: Analysis and Design of Communication Networks. Participated in Telephone Network Planning and Digital Evolution Design project sponsored by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, China. Participated in a commercial project on the design of YH-500 digital PABX. Responsible for software design, data management, line/trunk circuit design.
