This is Hsin-Mu (Michael) Tsai's homepage. I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering and Graduate Institute of Networking and Multimedia at National Taiwan University. I lead the Mobile and Vehicular Network Laboratory in my department. I am also the Principle-Investigator of the project “Extend the Safety Shield - an Early Warning System for Vehicles” in the Intel-NTU Connected Context Computing Center.

I recently received the 2013 Intel Early Career Faculty Award, the first to receive such an award in Asia. The award seeks to find leading faculty at the top universities around the world who are early in their careers and connect them with Intel researchers to foster mutually beneficial collaborations.

I am serving as the TPC co-chair for ACM VANET 2013. The call-for-papers can be found here: http://www.uwicore.umh.es/vanet2013/cfp.html. This year ACM VANET will co-locate with MobiSys 2013 and will be held in Taipei, Taiwan!

I am currently looking for brilliant students (all levels: undergraduate, master, and phd students) who would like to work on interesting research problems and to have hands-on experience on useful experimental research tools such as wireless channel measurement equipments, software defined radios, wireless sensor nodes (similar to embedded systems), and software network simulators, to join my lab. The main research direction of the lab is to understand the general principles of the communication patterns and underlying channels, to engineer towards a feasible communication infrastructure for the future ubiquitous mobile and vehicular networks, and to discover new applications for these networks. There are lots of interesting problems which we can work on. The potential students are encouraged to schedule a meeting with me via e-mail. I can explain these topics in details when we meet.

You can take a look at the introduction of our lab [pptx].
