Introduction
Dr. Chong Xu (Senior Member IEEE) has broad-spectrum research experiences and interests in various fields. She developed various heuristic optimization algorithms to solve NP-hard multi-user detection problems in all kinds of state-of-the-art wireless communication systems during her Ph.D. studies in University of Southampton. In 2010, she joined Information Technology Laboratory at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Department of Commerce, Gaithersburg, MD, USA as a research fellow. Her research at NIST includes developing scheduling/routing and detection algorithms for Smart Grid and MIMO wireless communication systems. Since September 2012, Dr. Xu has been employed as a faculty member of School of Engineering at University of St. Thomas (UST) in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. Her research work at UST includes developing novel algorithms for large-scale optimization problems in different application areas such as FPGA cell assignment problems, automatic bubble detection for fluid pressure measurement, etc. She has also been leading a research group to develop and implement novel localization and navigation algorithms for autonomous vehicles used for precision agriculture. Dr. Chong Xu is also interested in machine learning algorithms and internet-of-things (IoT). She has published more than 20 papers on peer reviewed IEEE and ASME journals and proceedings.
Dr. Chong Xu is passionate about teaching. She has been a conscientious and creative teacher. She loves her students and always brings examples in the real world including her research and industrial experiences into the classroom.
