Short Biography

Dr. Wei Wang received his B.S. degree in 1997 and M.S. degree from Xi'an Shiyou University, Xi'an, China, in 2000. He earned his Ph.D. degree in control science and engineering (de facto Computer Science) from Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, China, in 2006, under the supervision of Prof. Xiaohong Guan. During 2005 - 2006, he conducted advanced research activities first as a research fellow and then as a PostDoc in Department of Information and Communication, University of Trento, Italy, hosted by Prof. Roberto Battiti. He was a research engineering expert in Department of Networks, Security and Multimedia, TELECOM Bretagne (previously as GET/ENST Bretagne), France, in 2007, hosted by Sylvain Gombault. He was a Postdoctoral research fellow in 2008 first in Projet DREAM, IRISA/INRIA Rennes, hosted by Dr. Rene Quiniou and then in Projet AxIS, INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France, hosted by Dr. Florent Masseglia. He was an ERCIM Fellow at Q2S center, NTNU, Norway, hosted by Prof. Svein Johan Knapskog, in 2009.  He was an an ERCIM Fellow at SnT Center, University of Luxembourg, hosted by Prof. Björn Ottersten, in 2010. He is currently a researcher at SnT Center, University of Luxembourg.

I have a probably most popular name in the world:-). It is therefore difficult to find me by google, but I will be the first one if you search like "Wei Wang security" or "Wei Wang Luxembourg".
