SPECIAL FEATURES
-
Computer and Information Sciences has 3 new full-time faculty that joined the department in the summer of 2010. Each of these faculty brings a strong teaching and research portfolio to enhance the departments programs.
Dr. Shan Lin has joined CIS as a tenure-track Assistant Professor, as of July 2010. Professor Lin received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Virginia in 2010. He received an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Virginia in 2007. In 2004, he received the B.E. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Graduating #1 out of 113).
Professor Lin worked in the laboratory of his adviser, Jack Stankovic, contributing to system design in cyber physical systems, reliable wireless communication, and networked information systems. He received an SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation) Scholar Research Award for his research project "Reliable Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks".
Shan Lin's primary research interests are in the areas of cyber physical systems, networked embedded systems, and wireless sensor networks. He has been investigating feedback control based approaches to networked system designs, including wireless networking and system composition. He is also involved in building wireless sensing systems for pervasive medical care and fire fighting.
His major papers have been published in ACM MobiSys, ACM SenSys, IEEE RTSS, IEEE INFOCOM, ACM TECS, and ACM IPSN. He is a member of the IEEE and the ACM.
Dr. Lin taught a graduate course in Computer Architecture in the Fall 2010 and will be contributing to the undergraduate and graduate courses in systems and advanced programming.
