Brief Biography

Dr. Ming Yu received his Ph.D. from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, in 2002, and Doctor of Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, in 1994, all in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

He joined AT&T in July 1997 as a Senior Technical Staff Member. He participated in the projects of Next New Switch (NNS), the largest switch ever built by AT&T systems, and AT&T Network Service With Expert Rule (ANSWER). Since June 1999, he was with the ATM Networking Department of AT&T Labs, Middletown, NJ. There he pursued research and development on the projects of ATM Network Performance Management, ATM Traffic Measurement and Modeling. Then, he worked for startup companies in broadband networks. From December 2002, he worked for the IP/Data NMS Engineering Department, AT&T Labs, where he worked on a switch element management system (EMS) and investigated the MPLS Alarm Correlations and fault management of the IP backbone network. During 2003 and 2006, he was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton, as an assistant professor. As of August 2006, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Florida A&M University (FAMU) – Florida State University (FSU) College of Engineering, Tallahassee, FL. Currently he is an associate professor.

Dr. Yu is a senior member of the IEEE. He was a winner of the IEEE Millennium Medal, awarded by the IEEE USA on May 2000.

Research Interests

Dr. Yu’s research is about how to improve the key performance indexes of both wired and wireless networks, especially, to make the network more secure and reliable, with applications to various cyber-physical systems, including telecom networks, communication networks for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and smart grids for power distribution systems.

For the backbone networks, some intersecting topics are secure routing, key management schemes, and network management systems including fault management, event correlations and security features within SNMP architecture.

For wireless networks, the topics are secure MAC and routing protocols, network security, dynamic and energy-efficient clustering, radio jamming attacks detection and resource management, for WLAN s and mobile ad hoc networks.

During the conference banquet Prof. Margot Weijnen revealed the winner of the Best Paper Award for IEEE ICNSC2011. From a list of six nominated papers, the review panel had selected the one paper they thought deserved the award most:

The paper “Link Availablity Modeling for Routing Algorithms to Reduce the Link Break Time in MANETs” by Ming Yu, Wei Liu and Tian Xing from the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering of Florida A&M University – Florida State University College of Engineering, Tallahassee, Florida, USA, has won the IEEE ICNSC2011 Best Paper Award! Prof. Yu accepted a commemorative dish, also on behalf of the other authors.

Once again, congratulations to Ming Yu, Wei Liu and Tian Xing for their award and to all other nominees for their excellent contributions to the conference.
