Biography

Nan Liu received the B.Eng. degree in electrical engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Beijing, P. R. China in 2001, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from University of Maryland, College Park, MD in 2007.  From 2007-2008, she was a postdoctoral scholar in the Wireless Systems Lab, Department of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University. In 2009, she became a faculty member in the School of Information Science and Engineering in Southeast University, Nanjing, China. Her research interests are in network information theory for wireless networks and wireless communication theory.
