Biosketch: Prof. Chansu Yu received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Seoul National University, Korea, in 1982 and 1984, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in computer engineering from the Pennsylvania State University in 1994. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio. Before joining the CSU, he was on the research staff at LG Electronics, Inc. for nine years until 1997 and was on the faculty at Information and Communications University, Korea during 1998-2001. He has been a co-chair for IEEE PerCom Workshop on Pervasive Wireless Networking for four consecutive years (PWN09, PWN08, PWN07, PWN06 and PWN05) and International Workshop on Mobile and Wireless Ad Hoc Networking (MWAN05 and MWAN04). Dr. Yu also has been on the program committees of several international conferences including The 22th IEEE Advanced Information Networking and Applications (AINA2008), IEEE Percom Workshop on Mobile Peer-to-Peer Computing (MP2P’08), IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems (ICDCS 2008), Work-in-Progress (WiP) session of IEEE PerCom 2007, and The 1st IEEE International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Systems (MASS, 2004). Dr. Yu is also a guest editor of Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications (JPCC), Special Issue on “Wireless Networks and Pervasive Computing” in 2005. His research interests include mobile wireless networks, sensor networks, parallel and clustering computing, and performance modeling and evaluation. He has authored/coauthored more than 60 technical papers and numerous book chapters in the areas of mobile networking, performance evaluation and parallel and distributed computing. Dr. Yu is a senior member of the ACM, IEEE and IEEE Computer Society.
Summary:
Teaching - During the last five years, Dr. Yu's average overall rating based on students’ course evaluation is 3.47, where 3 means “good,” 4 means excellent, and college average is 3.3. He has been trying to strive for excellence in teaching by, for example, providing class homepages in most of the courses and adding extensive hands-on experience, which is in fact a main theme of the Teaching enhancement award in 2006.
Research - Prof. Yu have authored/coauthored 21 refereed journal papers, 45 refereed conference papers, 6 book chapters and 13 technical reports in his career. The average impact factor of the journals that he has published during the last five years is 0.946 while that of all journals in computer science is 0.631. External funding for supporting his research amounts to $700K during the last ten years. In particular, he has recently received two NSF awards, one as a PI (August 18, 2008) and the other one as a co-PI (June 2008). See his research page for more details.
