About Me
My name is Tao Liu, a Ph.D graduated from the
School of Engineering
at
University of California, Merced in August 2013.
My advisor is Dr.
Alberto Cerpa and I was a
member of the
ANDES lab.
Research
My research interests lie broadly in the computer networking
and distributed systems areas with an emphasis on wireless sensor
networks. The core of my research focuses on temporal and spatial
behavior of link quality in low power wireless networks and algorithms
for effective wireless link quality estimation and routing.
My research topics mainly include
wireless link quality estimation and prediction, as well as other projects such as
solar irradiance sensing.
Please see my
research page for a full list of my projects.
