Shensheng Tang

Shensheng Tang is a Professor of Physics and Engineering at Bethel University, College of Arts and Sciences. He joined the university in 2024, bringing extensive academic and industry experience in electrical and computer engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toledo and a B.S. from Tianjin University.

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, University of Toledo, 2006
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Tianjin University, 1990

Dr. Tang's research focuses on wireless and computer networking, IoT, cloud/fog/edge computing, embedded systems, FPGA, cybersecurity, AI/ML, and performance modeling. His work integrates theoretical modeling with practical applications in smart grids, healthcare IoT, and 5G/Wi-Fi convergence. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers, with recent publications emphasizing fog-based IoT performance, cloud system modeling, FPGA acceleration, and network security using spatiotemporal models and machine learning.

His publication record reveals a strong trend in applying analytical models—particularly queueing theory, Markov processes, and signal modeling—to optimize network performance, reliability, and security in distributed and resource-constrained environments. He frequently explores cross-layer design in wireless networks and integrates AI techniques for traffic analysis and threat detection.
