Biography
Wei Koong Chai is the Deputy Head of Department in the Department of Computing and Informatics, Bournemouth University (BU), UK. He heads the Future and Complex Networks Research Group (FlexNet) in the Department. He is also a visiting academic in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University College London (UCL), UK. Previously, he was a Senior Research Associate in UCL, where he led the research activities of several research projects, conduct collaborative research and contribute to the teaching and supervision of students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He has successfully raised research funding from both EU and UK funding bodies. He has published papers in fully refereed international conferences and journals and contributed chapters to books. His research work has been constantly receiving citations, recording over 3,000 citations to date (source: Google Scholar). He also serves on the technical program committee of several IEEE/ACM international conferences and workshops...
Dr. Chai received the B.Eng. (Hons) degree in electrical engineering from the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Johor Bahru, Malaysia, in 2000, and the M.Sc. (Distinction) and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Surrey, Surrey, U.K., in 2002 and 2008, respectively.
moreResearch
Dr. Chai's research spans across heterogeneous networks, including wired/wireless networks and cyber physical systems.
His current research interests include:
* Information-centric Networking (ICN) - Name-based resolution systems, in-network caching, information resilience.
* Communications in Cyber Physical Systems - Communication infrastructures for smart grid applications.
* Network Science - Complex networks, epidemic theory.
He was previously involved in research on quality of service, resource management (e.g., for satellite networks and wireless mesh networks), cross-layer design (specifically on interaction of protocols at different layers), traffic engineering, and network optimization.
He is always looking for PhD students who have great potential. If you are interested, please contact Dr. Chai with your CV in order to advise you for the possibility of funding.
