About Me

Dr. Gang Feng is a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin - Platteville. His research interests are in the broad area of computer networking, particularly focusing on solving routing problems in both wired and wireless networks. He has a considerable number of publications in developing efficient algorithms for constrained unicast and multicast routing problems. He is also interested path enumeration algorithms (K-shortest paths), finding disjointed paths subject to quality of service (QoS) requirements, etc. In his early career, he had worked on many projects using Hopfield neural networks to solve optimization problems such as traveling sales problem (TSP), N-queen problem, etc. He is still interested in neural networks and evolutionary computation. Since his joining in UW-Platteville in 2002, Dr. Feng has been teaching computer engineering courses such as Intro. to Microprocessors, Advanced Digital Design, etc. He has done numerous projects in embedded system design and avionics software verification.
