I-Jeng Wang was born in Tapei,
Taiwan. He received the B.S. degree from the National Chiao-Tung
University (Tsinchu, Taiwan) in Control Engineering in 1987; the
M.S. degree from the Pennsylvania State
University (Univeristy Park) in the Department of Electrical Engineering
in 1991; and the Ph.D. degree from the Purdue
University in the School
of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1996. From August 1996 to
September 1997, he was a postdoctorl research associate with the Institute for Systems Research at
the University of Maryland, College Park. He joined the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics
Laboratory where he is a
Principal Professional
Staff
with the Milton S. Eisenhower Research Center. Since October
2005, he also holds a Assistant Research Professor position with the
Computer Science Depatement at the
Johns Hopkins University. His current
research interests include stochastic optimization and control,
wireless networking, and distributed information processing and control
in sensor
networks.
