Biography of Prof. Ming Xiao

Ming Xiao received his Ph.D degree in Chalmers Unviersity of Technology, Sweden in Nov. 2007. He received Bachelor and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, ChengDu in 1997 and 2002, respectively. From 1997 to 1999, he worked as a network engineer in ChinaTelecom. From November 2007 to December, 2008, he held a position of ACCESS post-doc. From 2009, he is an assistant professor in communication theory, KTH.   

His research interest includes: Future wireless network technology: IMT-advance or LTE-A; Relaying and cooperative communications; Network Coding (physical layer coding, low-complexity codes, network coding for cooperative networks and relaying networks), Rateless Codes (binary deterministic rateless codes, and rateless codes for wireless networks), Channel Codes (Turbo codes, LDGM codes), Digital modulation (Continuous Phase Modulation, Adaptive modulation/codes for fading channels), etc.  He won "Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Studying Aborad" in March, 2007. He got "Hans Werthén Grant" from royal Swedish academy of engineering science (IVA) in March 2006. He was a visiting Ph.D student at, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA from October 2006 to March 2007.
