Yuanyuan Yang is a Professor and Graduate Program Director of Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, a Professor of Department of Computer Science, and the Director of High-Performance Computing and Networking Research Lab at Stony Brook University. Prior to joining Stony Brook in 1999, she had held positions at University of Vermont and Johns Hopkins University.
Dr. Yang is internationally recognized for her contributions in networking and communications areas. Her research interests include wireless/mobile networks, optical networks, high-speed networks, interconnection networks, multicast communication and parallel and distributed computing systems. Her research group currently develops routing protocols, deployment algorithms and data gathering mechanisms in wireless sensor networks and mesh networks, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques in wireless LANs, optical interconnects/switches, optical packet scheduling algorithms, switch designs, multicast routing protocols and performance models.
Dr. Yang has served as an editor for IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, and is currently an editor for IEEE Transactions on Computers and on the Editorial Board of Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing. Dr. Yang has published more than 180 scientific papers in leading refereed journals, conferences and book chapters. She is an inventor/co-inventor of six U.S. patents in the area of communication networks. She has served as a distinguished visitor of IEEE Computer Society. She received an IEEE Region 1 Award for ``significant contributions in multicast switching networks'' in 2002, the Best Paper Awards at the 18th IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium in 2004, and the 7th International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems in 2000, and a Distinguished Leadership Award from the 15th IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks in 2006. She has served as a general chair, program chair or vice chair for several major conferences and a program committee member for numerous conferences. She has received many research grants as a Principal Investigator from the U.S. National Science Foundation and the Army Research Office.
Dr. Yang received the BEng and MS degrees in computer science and engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, and the MSE and PhD degrees in computer science from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland.
