Bin Tang is an assistant professor of Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Wichita State University. He received his Ph.D. degree (2007) in Computer Science from Stony Brook University (advisor: Dr. Himanshu Gupta) and was a member of WINGS Lab. He received M.S. degrees of Computer Science (2002) and Materials Science (2000) from Stony Brook University, and B.S. of Physics (1997) from Peking University, China.

Research Interest:

My research focuses on the algorithmic and networking aspects of data intensive sensor networks (DISNs), in the context of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). Fundamental and eminent scientific problems such as climate change, natural disaster warning, and renewable solar and wind energy call for the establishment of new CPS, wherein computing technologies such as sensor and actuator networks interact with the physical world seamlessly in a systematic way, and possibly with Internet scale, to give people closeup view of the physical processes invisible otherwise. The large volume of sensory data produced as a result of such interaction poses unique challenges to DISNs and gives rise to a set of new problems such as data redistribution and caching, data spatio-temporal statistical modelling, and sensing energy modelling and characterization, which are largely neglected in previous sensor network research focusing mainly on low data rate and low duty cycling applications.
