Yi Shang joined the Computer Science Department at MU in 1997 as an assistant professor. From 2001 to 2003, he took a leave from MU and worked at the renowned Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Xerox PARC), the birth place of personal computer and Ethernet among many other revolutionary technological innovations, on embedded systems control and optimization and wireless sensor networks.He has extensive research experience on nonlinear and constrained optimization, intelligence and distributed computing, and wireless and mobile sensor networks. He has published over 130 refereed journal and conference papers, and has been awarded 6 US patents. Many of his works are well received. For example, he pioneered the multidimensional scaling based approach for ad hoc network localization and one of his paper has been cited over 500 times. He has served on program and/or organizing committees of over 40 international conferences. His research projects have been funded by federal and industrial grants and contracts from NSF, NIH, DARPA, Microsoft, Raytheon, and University of Missouri Research Board. | ||
