	Postdoc
	Marios Kountouris Marios Kountouris is a postdoctoral fellow at UT Austin, working on wireless ad-hoc networks, under DARPA's IT-MANET program. He completed his Dipl.-Ing. in ECE from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece in 2002 and the M.S. and Ph.D degrees from ENST/Eurecom, France in 2004 and 2008, respectively. In 2004, he interned as a Research Engineer at Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology, Korea, developing MU-MIMO precoding and scheduling techniques for 3GPP-LTE and IEEE 802.16e standards. His research interests include wireless ad-hoc networks, resource allocation for multiuser MIMO systems, limited feedback, PHY/MAC cross-layer design, and multiuser information theory.
	Ph.D. Students
	Jun Zhang Jun Zhang is a Ph.D. candidate at UT Austin. He completed his B.Eng. at the University of Science and Technology of China and his M.Phil. degree at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on the capacity and performance of distributed wireless networks, including distributed antenna systems and cooperative base stations. AT&T Labs supports his research, and he interned there in the summer of 2007, working on multiuser MIMO systems.
	Khursheed Hassan Khursheed Hassan is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UT Austin, advised by Prof. Jeffrey G. Andrews. He had completed his MS from Texas A&M at College Station TX in 1998-2000 and BS in 1996 from N.E.D. University of Eng. & Technology, Karachi, Pakistan. From 2000-2007 he has been a Senior ASIC designer at Motorola and starting in 2003, Freescale, afterwards he was with Alereon, a UWB startup in Austin. He returned full-time to UT Austin in Fall 2008 to research 60 GHz wireless networks.
	Chun-Hung Liu Chun-Hung Liu is a Ph.D. student at UT Austin. He completed his BS and MS degrees at National Taiwan University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, respectively. His research interests are primarily in wireless communications, information theory and stochastic optimization. Currently his research focuses are on wireless network coding, stochastic geometry and random graphs for wireless ad hoc and cognitive networks.
	Behrang Nosrat-Makouei Behrang Nosrat-Makouei received his B.Sc. from Sharif University of Technology (Tehran, Iran) in 2004 and his M.A.Sc. from Simon Fraser University (Burnaby, Canada) in 2008 both at Electrical Engineering. He is currently a member of the WNCG group under the co-supervision of Dr. Robert Heath and Dr. Jeff Andrews where he's working towards his Ph.D. degree. His research interests extend from Medical Image Processing to DSP, MIMO-OFDM(A) systems and relay networks.
	Tom Novlan Tom Novlan is an MS student at UT Austin. He completed his BS degree with High Honors at UT Austin in 2007, where he conducted undergraduate research in WNCG on WiMAX systems and the 802.16j multihop extension in particular. He was a 2006 participant in the NSF Eureca summer research program. He is a recipient of the Virginia and Ernest Cockrell, Jr. Fellowship.
	Yuxin Chen Yuxin Chen is currently a Masters student at UT Austin. He completed his B.E. at Tsinghua University. His research focuses on wireless ad hoc networks and information theory. He has worked as an intern at Alcatel-Lucent in summer 2007 and has worked with Microsoft Research from 2007 to 2008.
	Ping Xia Ping Xia is an M.S. student in WNCG, UT Austin. He completed his B.E. in 2008 from Tsinghua University, China. His research interests are on performance of wireless networks, including femtocell-aided broadband networks.
	Jaeweon Kim Jaeweon Kim is a part-time Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UT Austin. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in 1994 and 1996, respectively. He worked as a research engineer at the central R&D Center of SK Telecom, Inc. from 1996 to 2002, and as a summer intern at Bandspeed Inc. in 2003. His research interests are on wireless communication algorithm development, analysis, and simulation, especially for CDMA and wireless sensor networks.
	Andrew Hunter Andrew Hunter is a Ph.D. candidate at UT Austin. He completed his B.S. and M.S. degrees at the same university. His research focuses on the capacity of multiple antenna ad hoc networks using tools from stochastic geometry. In the summer of 2006 he was an engineering intern at National Instruments, and in the summer of 2007 he interned at Lucent-Alcatel Bell Labs in Crawford Hill, New Jersey. His research has been supported by National Instruments and DARPA.
