Wei Song received her Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 2007. Since 2008, she has been supported by the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada and worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences, University of California, Berkeley. In July 2009, she joined the Faculty of Computer Science, University of New Brunswick, as an assistant professor. She received a Top 10% Award from IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP) 2009, an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship in 2008, and a Best Paper Award from IEEE Wireless Communications & Networking Conference (WCNC) 2007. Her current research interests include the interworking of cellular networks and wireless local area networks (WLANs), resource allocation for heterogeneous wireless networks, vehicular ad hoc networks, cross-layer optimization for multimedia quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning, wireless security, and data mining and communications for eHealth applications.
Dr. Song has been actively participating in professional activities. She has served the Technical Program Committee for various international conferences including IEEE INFOCOM, IEEE ICC, IEEE GLOBECOM, and IEEE WCNC. Particularly, she was the system administrator for IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology. She co-chaired the Wireless Access Track of IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference (VTC), Fall 2010, the General Symposium of International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC), 2011, and the Wireless Communications Symposium of IEEE Global Conference on Communications (GLOBECOM), 2011. She is also an Editor of Wiley's journal Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems, and Wireless Engineering and Technology, and a co-guest editor of Springer's journal Wireless Personal Communications for the special issue on adaptive communications in wireless networks.
