Zhenghao Zhang
Short Bio
Zhenghao Zhang received his B.Eng. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, in 1996 and 1999, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 2006. From 1999 to 2001, he worked in industry as an embedded system Software Engineer. From 2006 to 2007, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He joined the faculty in the Computer Science Department at Florida State University in Fall 2007 and is currently a Full Professor. His research interest is mainly wireless networks.
Research Interests
Wireless Networking
Designing and implementing novel wireless communication technologies to better connect the world
Sensor Systems
Wearable-free sensor systems to help older adults live safe and free
Wireless Security
Securing wireless communications with novel waveform design
Main Innovations
Analog Bloom Filter (ABF)
ABF allows many User Equipment (UE) to transmit connection initiation requests simultaneously and performs much better than the existing PRACH in cellular networks.
Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) Technologies
Designed a novel LPWAN modulation technique as well as improving the performance of existing LPWAN techniques
Channel State Information (CSI) Compression
CSI is the key information to perform advanced wireless transmissions. Designed a novel compression method based on constant frequency approximation of the CSI.
