Chenglong Shao

Assistant Professor

Kyushu Institute of Technology

Hello | 您好 | こんにちは | 안녕하세요

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Networks at Kyushu Institute of Technology (Kyutech). Prior to joining Kyutech, I worked closely with Prof. Osamu Muta at Kyushu University as a research fellow. I received my Ph.D. degree from Korea University under the supervision of Prof. Wonjun Lee.

I am broadly interested in wireless networked systems, from the basic architecture of the physical layer to high-level applications. I am also a workoutaholic. Running, tennis, and badminton are some of my favorite categories.
