Affiliated Scholars



Dr. Ning Cheng

Dr. Ning Cheng is currently a postdoc at Photonics & Networking Research Laboratory in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University. His research interests include optical networks, lightwave systems and photonic components. Working on photonic technologies for many years, he has authored/coauthored one book and over 50 papers.

 


Dr. Chunming Qiao

Dr. Qiao is a Professor at SUNY Buffalo where he directs the Lab for Advanced Network Design, Analysis, and Research (LANDER), which conducts cutting-edge research work on optical networks, wireless and mobile networks, survivable networks, and TCP/IP technologies. He has published more than 80 and 120 papers in leading technical journals and conference proceedings, respectively. His pioneering research on Optical Internet, in particular, the optical burst switching (OBS) paradigm is internationally acclaimed. In addition, his work on integrated cellular and ad hoc relaying systems (iCAR), started in 1999, is recognized as the harbinger for today's push towards the convergence between heterogeneous wireless technologies, and has been featured in BusinessWeek and Wireless Europe, as well as at the websites of New Scientists and CBC. His Research has been funded by a number of NSF grants including two ITR awards, and by Alcatel, Fujitsu Labs, NEC Labs, Nokia Research, Nortel, Telcordia, Sprint Advanced Technology Lab, and ITRI.


Current Students



Wei-Tao Shaw

Wei-Tao Shaw received his B.S. in electrical engineering from National Chung-Cheng University, Chia-Yi, Taiwan, in 1999, and the M.S. degree from Stanford University, Stanford, CA, in 2003.  He is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree at Stanford University under the supervision of Prof. Kazovsky.  His research interests include next-generation optical access networks, hybrid optical-wireless access networks, and circuit design for optical communications systems.  



Saurav Das

Saurav received his BE from BIT, India, and his MS degree in optical sciences from the Optical Sciences Cntr. at the Univ. of Arizona. He spent several years designing planar waveguide integrated optical components at ANDevices in Fremont CA. Since 2005, he has been working towards the PhD degree in EE at Stanford where his research interests are in IP and WDM networks.

 


Shing-Wa Wong

Shing-Wa received his BSEE from UCLA. There he worked with Dr. Fitz on smart radios. Since 2005, he has been working towards the PhD degree where his research interests are in WDM metro/access network and hybrid optical-wireless network. Prior researches before joining PNRL include next generation PON, parallel computing, and wireless MIMO space-time coding. He also has worked as an engineer in Sun Microsystem and AT&T.

 


Jinwoo Cho

Jinwoo's current research interests are in optical burst mode ICs, especially burst mode receivers, and high-capacity / long-haul (a few hundreds to thousands kilometers) optical transmission systems at 100 Gb/s. Before he joined  PNRL, he worked at two companies in Korea and developed optical systems and sub-systems such as WDM systems and optical transmitters / receivers. Prior work at PNRL included building and testing the OBT testbed.

 


She-Hwa Yen

She-Hwa designed xDSL transceivers for several years before joining Stanford. His prime reseach was focus was on low complexity VLSI communication circuits design. At PNRL, his current reserach interests are in optical communications and networking.

 

 


Mayank Jain

Mayank completed his BE in Electronics and Communications from University of Delhi in 2002. He worked as a design engineer in Texas Instruments, India from 2002 to 2005 before coming to Stanford. His work in PNRL has included contributions to Optical burst transport, Security in PONs and TDM to WDM migration networks. His research is currently focussed on various aspects of physical layer security in PONs.
