Welcome to Shizheng Li's Homepage

Bio:

Shizheng Li received his B.Eng degree in Information Engineering from Southeast University (Chien-Shiung Wu Honors College), Nanjing, China, in 2007. He worked on error correction codes in National Mobile Communications Laboratory at Southeast University during 2006 and 2007. Since Fall 2007, he has been a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Iowa State University. He is a member of Communication Systems and Networks Laboratory. He is a student member of IEEE (ITSOC, COMSOC).

My research is mainly on network coding, coding theory, network resource allocation and optimization.

I am looking for an internship position in Summer 2010 (May-Aug). I am interested in research intern in research centers or system engineer intern positions in telecommunications industry.
