[Short Biography]
Zhisheng Niu graduated from Northern Jiaotong University (currently Beijing Jiaotong University), Beijing, China, in 1985, and got his M.E. and D.E. degrees from Toyohashi University of Technology, Toyohashi, Japan, in 1989 and 1992, respectively. After spending two years at Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd., Kawasaki, Japan, he joined with Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1994, where he is now a professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering and the deputy dean of the School of Information Science and Technology. His current research interests include teletraffic theory, mobile Internet, radio resource management of wireless networks, and green communication and networks.
Dr. Niu received the Best Paper Awards from the 13th and 15th Asia-Pacific Conference on Communication (APCC) in 2007 and 2009, respectively, and Outstanding Young Researcher Award from Natural Science Foundation of China in 2009. Currently, he is a fellow and councilor of the IEICE, Director for Conference Publications of IEEE Communication Society, Conference and Technical Seminar Coordinator of IEEE Region 10, council member of Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE), and vice chair of the Information and Communication Network Committee of the Chinese Institute of Communications (CIC).
Prof. Niu has been studying on green communications since 2007 and published extensively in this area. He has been serving as the guest co-editor for the IEEE Wireless Communication Magazine Special Issue on Green Radio Communications and Networks (published on Oct. 2011) and the Communication Networks Special Issue on Green Communication Networks (to be published in 2012). He is now the Chief Scientist of the National Fundamental Research Program (so called “973 Project”) of China “Fundamental Research on the Energy and Resource Optimized Hyper-Cellular Mobile Communication System” (2012-2016), which is the first national project in this area in China.
