"This new form of communication (wireless) could have some utility."

-Guglielmo Marconi

  • Prof. Anna Scaglione

    Associate Professor Anna Scaglione received her "Laurea" and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Rome "La Sapienza", Rome, Italy in 1995 and 1999 respectively. She received the IEEE Signal Processing Transactions Best Paper Award in 2000, the NSF Career Award in 2002, and was co-recipient of the Ellersick Best Paper Award (MILCOM 2005) and the 2005 Best paper for Young Authors of the Taiwan IEEE Comsoc/Information theory section.

  • Dr. Zhifang Wang

    Dr. Wang is a post-doctoral research associate and joined CRiSP in 2008. She is sponsored by the UIUC center for Trustworthy Cyber Infrastructure for Power networks (TCIP). She received her Ph.D degree from Cornell University in 2005 and her M.S. and B.S. degrees from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 1998 and 1995 respectively. Her research interests include: decentralized real-time control scheme under communication constraints of power network, trustworthy information sharing and exchange architecture for the real-time control of power grids, and optimized restoration in power grids.

  • Dr. Ramy Tannious

    Dr. Tannious joined CRiSP in 2009. He is working on Body Area Networks and in particular on the design of codes and receiver architecture for Ultra-Wideband CMOS radios that would be providing Zigbee rates but operating at micro-watts rather than milliwatts of power.

  • Lin Li

    Lin Li is a graduate at UC Davis since 2008. She is working on network control and decentralized estimation problems.

  • Andrea Rueetschi

    Andrea Ruestschi joined the PhD program at UC Davis since 2008. Prior to that he wasin the graduate student program at Cornell University for one year. His research is on synchronization and equalization of cooperative doubly selective channels.

  • Matthew Sharp

    Matthew Sharp is a graduate student at Cornell University since 2005. He received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from The George Washington University in 2003 and his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Bucknell University in 2005. His main interests lie in statistical signal processing and wireless communications, specifically HF radio communications.

  • Xiao Li

    Xiao LI is a graduate student at UC Davis since Fall 2009. He received his B.Eng. degree with highest honor in Electrical Engineering from Sun Yat-Sen (Zhongshan) University, China in 2007 and his M.Phil. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from The University of Hong Kong in 2009. His main interests lie in the broad area of signal processing, with applications ranging from fundamental digital signal processing to communications network processing. In particular, he is currently working on efficient information representations and universal sampling structures that capture the inherited degrees of freedom in the signal for optimum reconstruction with minimal sampling requirements.

  • Mahnoosh Alizadeh

    Mahnoosh has been a graduate student in UC Davis since 2009. She is working on decentralized monitoring and control techniques for the Smart Grid.

  • Saeed Bagheri

    Saeed Bagheri Sereshki is a graduate student at UC Davis since Fall 2009. He received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran in 2009. His main research interests lie in the broad area of Wireless communications and Signal processing. He is currently working on Cooperative Communication in Wireless Networks.
