Biography
Qing Xia received the B.S. in Electrical Engineering & Automation from Hebei University of Technology, China in 2010. She received the M.S. degree in Electric Power & Energy System Engineering from University of Denver, USA, in 2012. Since January 2013, she is a Ph.D. student under the guidance of Professor Josep Miquel Jornet at the University at Buffalo, The state University of New York. She has worked as the Graduate Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant since 2014.
She worked as a graduate intern, in Intel Labs, OR, USA, from June 2016 to December 2016. Her work in Intel Labs focused on developing networking algorithms for intelligent, power constrained Internet of Things applications, including PHY/MAC protocols and mesh networking architecture, validating the proposed solutions through simulation and testbed deployment. In 2009, she worked as a graduate intern in Tianwei Baobian Electric Co. ltd., Baoding China. Her tasks included learning the test programs of transformer, participating in the tests of three transformers and assisting the technician in processing the test data.
Her research interests include wireless communication and networks, in particular, Terahertz-band communication, which including the development of physical layer, link layer and network layer techniques and protocols for 100-Gigabit-per-second and Terabit-per-second links; Millimeter-wave communication and Internet of Things.
