We are looking for postdoctoral research fellows, visiting students and scholars and Ph.D. students in the areas of wireless communications and networks. If interested, please email me.

Weidong Xiang received his M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1996 and 1999, respectively. From 1999 to 2004 he worked as a post-doctoral fellow and then a research scientist at the Software Radio Laboratory (SRL) at Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta. In September 2004, he joined the ECE Department, University of Michigan-Dearborn as an assistant professor. His research interests include OFDM, MIMO, cognitive radio, wireless access for vehicular environments (WAVE), UWB, and wireless networked control system (wireless NCS).
