Daniel Wu's Research Interests

I am a Computer Science Ph.D student at UC Davis. I am currently working with Professor Prasant Mohapatra in the Networks lab. My current research interests is mainly on Wireless Mesh Networks and their implementations. Before joining the Ph.D program, I got a B.S. degree in Computer Science and Engineering at UC Davis.

Here's my resume.

1. Wireless Mesh Networks
2. QuRiNet: Quail Ridge Wireless Mesh Network
3. Wireless Link Quality Estimations
4. Rate Adaptation Protcols and Multi-Rate Algorithms

1. I work out religiously at the ARC. Current training routine includes an hour of weight lifting and 30 minute cardio four times a week. I'm also currently taking a gymnastics class to help my balance and learn handstands, headstands, handsprings and flips.
2. In Fall 2006, I studied the Northern Shaolin martial arts with Sifu Lai Hung. I currently know sets 4, 5 and 6. I also have some training in lion dance techniques and the broadsword set.
3. When I started working on QuRiNet, I spent a lot of time helping the MADWIFI development team in fine-tuning the wireless device driver.
