Background Data

Professor Wei received his Ph.D. degree in Computer and Information Science from the University of Pennsylvania in 1991. He is currently a Full Professor of the Computer and Information Science Department at Fordham University. From May 1993 to August 1997 he was on the Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Aizu, Japan (as an Associate Professor and then a Full Professor). Dr. Wei has authored and co-authored more than 140 technical papers in the areas of distributed and parallel processing, wireless networks and mobile computing, optical networks, peer-to-peer communications, cloud and edge computing, cybersecurity, and quantum computing and communications in various archival journals and conference proceedings. The broad impact of his research can be verified by the fact that his works appear in 35 different journals including 17 IEEE sponsored top-tier journals, such as TC, TCC, TIFS, TDSC, ToN, J-SAC, TWC, TVT, and the works also appear in top conferences, such as CVPR, Infocom, ICC, Globecom, Sigcomm, and more. He is a member of ACM and AAAS, and is a life senior member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, and IEEE Communications Society. Currently, Dr. Wei focuses his research efforts on cloud and edge computing, cybersecurity, and quantum computing and communications.
