My name is Min Li  and I was born in a small village to the east of Guilin, a beautiful city in the southern China. I stayed in Yao Autonomous County of Fu Chuan for my primary and secondary education for 12 years. I obtained my B.S. degree and M.S. degree both in Electrical Engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, respectively in June 2006 and 2008. I am now pursuing my PhD study under the supervision of Dr. Aylin Yener in the WCAN lab, Department of Electrical Engineering, Penn State University.

Interested Areas

• Wireless Communication Theory

• Information Theory

• Coding Theory

• Efficient Implementation Architectures for Channel Decoder 

Current Research

    I am highly motivated to do some theoretical research on future mobile ad hoc network (MANET) from information theory aspects. Its structure is to some extent different from existing one, but more similar to Internet. Owning characteristics of single-hop, relay, cooperation, interference, mesh and star networks comprising special cases, MANETs represent the most general wireless networks. With the development of MANET, it quite probably leads to a total change of communication systems in the future.

Some Selected Previous Projects

- LDPC codes construction and decoder implementation 

• Optimization of degree distribution for LDPC structured codes

• Construction of excellent structured eIRA LDPC codes with moderate length

• Implementation of partially parallel decoder based on FPGA and ASIC

   (Patent: Minjian Zhao, Min Li, etc, 'A method and decoder architecture for decoding block-structured LDPC code', Chinese Patent, registering number 200810060499.x)

- Algorithm and implementation design for digital tranceiver in wireless communication systems that could be fast reconfigurable
