معرفی
Chih-Chun Wang is a Professor at the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, with additional leadership roles as Associate Head for Facilities, Planning, and Staff. He earned his Ph.D. in Information Sciences and Systems from Princeton University in 2005, following an M.S. (2002) and B.S. (1999) in Electrical Engineering from Princeton and National Taiwan University, respectively.
Research Interests: His work spans
- Network coding (graph-theoretic capacity, wireless network coding, feedback mechanisms)
- Coding theory (LDPC codes, Reed-Solomon decoding, iterative algorithms)
- Information theory (multi-user detection, network information theory)
- Signal processing (turbo equalization, space-time codes)
- Control theory (optimal stopping theory)
Scientific Contributions: He has published extensively on Age-of-Information (AoI) minimization, low-latency coding, and multi-hop relay optimization. His research trends include
- Integrating machine learning with network coding
- Wireless security for Beyond-5G systems
- Distributed storage networks with intelligent helper selection
- Delay-constrained communication protocols
Awards: Recognized as an IEEE Fellow in 2024 for contributions to network coding and information theory.
Teaching: He teaches undergraduate courses like ECE301: Signals and Systems and graduate courses such as ECE639: Error Control Coding, with a focus on iterative decoding, LDPC codes, and network information theory.
Advising: Supervised 15+ Ph.D. students, including current advisees Pin-Wen Su (delay-oriented coding), Wonjun Lee (cyber-physical systems), and Giles Bischoff (low-latency systems). Former students hold prominent roles at institutions like Google, Meta, and Intel.
