Short Bio Dr. Yu received her B.Sc., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in communication and information system from HUST in 1992, 1996 and 1999, respectively. Since 1999 she has been with the School of EIC, HUST, where she is now a full professor and the director of Multimedia and Communication Network Center. From Dec. 2013 to June 2014, she was a visiting professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Waterloo, hosted by Prof. Sherman Shen. Her research focuses on image processing, video coding/decoding, wireless networking, etc. Dr. Yu is an IEEE member and served as the secretary of IEEE Wuhan Section from 2007 and was elected as the award chair in 2013. She also worked as the co-chair of Audio Video coding Standard workgroup of China. She has published more than 100 papers in prestigious international journals and conference proceedings. Wireless networking focuses on 5G cellular systems, with special interests in mobile edge architecture design and analysis, software defined networking. Our objective is to design advanced cellular system architectures and efficient resource allocation algorithms that meet the user requirement in the coming 5G era. We are also interested in transport layer protocols, especially congestion control and queue management algorithms for multimedia streaming.
