principal investigator
Andrew G. Klein joined Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2007 as an Assistant Professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University, and the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley. He then worked for awhile at several Silicon Valley startup companies before returning to Cornell to pursue a Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 2006. Prior to his arrival at WPI, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Supélec/LSS near Paris, France. Departmental webpage.
current graduate students
Qingxiong Deng received the B.S. in communication engineering from Hangzhou Dianzi University, China in 2005, and the M.S. degree in information security from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) in 2008. She joined the ASPECT Lab in August 2008 as a Ph.D. student. Her research interests are in the area of cooperative communication through frequency selective channels, including fundamental limits of communication as well as the design of practical algorithms and protocols for approaching these limits.
Yanjie Peng received the B.S. in electronic science and technology from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), China in 2005, and the M.S. degree in microelectronics from Fudan University in 2008. He is co-advised by WPI Prof. Xinming Huang and joined the ASPECT Lab in August 2008 as a Ph.D. student. His research interests are in the area of design and implementation of detectors for communication receivers in sparse and cooperative channels.
Raquel Machado received the B.S. in computer engineering from State University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil in 2007, and the M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Unicamp in 2010. She joined the ASPECT Lab in August 2010 as a Ph.D. student. Her research interests are in the area of estimation and dissemination of channel state information in multi-node communication systems and networks.
