BIOGRAPHY

Zengmao Chen received his BEng degree in Electronics Information Engineering from Nanjing University of Posts & Telecommunications (NUPT), Nanjing, P. R. China in 2003 and MSc degree in Communications and Information Systems from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), Beijing, P. R. China in 2006. From 2006 to 2007, he worked as a Research & Design Engineer in Freescale Semiconductor (China) Ltd. Since November 2007 he has been a PhD student at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK, under the supervision of Dr. Cheng-Xiang Wang, Heriot-Watt University, Dr. John Thompson, University of Edinburgh and Dr. Sergiy Vorobyov, University of Alberta.
