Rate My Professor Chunming Qiao

Qiao's research focuses on future generation communication systems, optical networks, survivable and resilient protocols, wireless and mobile networks including sensor networks, safety and reliability of cyber-physical systems such as transportation systems with connected and autonomous vehicles, critical infrastructures involving power grids and communications networks, cloud services, and algorithms and protocols for the Internet of Things including smartphone-based systems and applications. He pioneered research on optical burst switching in 1997 and integrated cellular and ad hoc relaying systems (iCAR) in 1999. With an h-index over 69 and more than 29,000 citations according to Google Scholar, he has authored numerous publications in leading journals such as IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, and IEEE Networks. Notable papers include 'A Strategy-Proof Auction Mechanism for Adaptive-Width Channel Allocation in Wireless Networks' (IEEE JSAC, forthcoming), 'Integrated Traffic-Driving-Networking Simulator for the Design of Connected Vehicle Applications: Eco-signal Case Study' (Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems, 2016), and 'Shared Relay Assignment (SRA) for Many-to-One Traffic in Cooperative Networks' (IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, 2016). Several papers have received best paper awards from IEEE and joint ACM/IEEE venues. His honors include IEEE Fellow (2009) for contributions to optical and wireless network architectures and protocols, TC-CSR Distinguished Technical Achievement Award (2015), SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities (2013), UB Exceptional Scholar Sustained Achievement Award (2005), and Excellence in Graduate Student Mentoring Award (2021-22). Qiao holds seven US patents, has consulted for IT and telecommunications companies since 2000, chaired international conferences and IEEE technical committees, and served on editorial boards of IEEE journals. His research has been funded by dozens of NSF grants and companies including Cisco, Google, NEC Labs, Nokia, and Telcordia.
