WenZhan Song is the Georgia Power Mickey A. Brown Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Georgia (UGA) and director of the university's Center for Cyber-Physical Systems.[1][2] His research areas include sensor signal processing and artificial intelligence, distributed computing and networking, cyber-physical systems, sensor networks, data infrastructure, and applications in health, energy, security, and environmental monitoring.[1]
Song has worked on sensor-network systems for environmental monitoring, including a NASA-funded technology project that deployed sensor systems at Mount St. Helens. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory identified Song as the principal investigator of the project in 2009.[3]
Education
[edit]Song earned a doctorate in computer science from the Illinois Institute of Technology and bachelor's and master's degrees from Nanjing University of Science and Technology.[4]
Academic career
[edit]Song served as an assistant professor at Washington State University before joining Georgia State University, where he became a professor of computer science. He established the Sensorweb Research Laboratory in 2005.[4]
In 2016, Song joined the University of Georgia and was appointed the Georgia Power Mickey A. Brown Professor in Engineering. The appointment was approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.[4] He later became director of UGA's Center for Cyber-Physical Systems and holds a courtesy appointment in the university's School of Computing.[2][5]
Research
[edit]Song's research includes cyber-physical systems, sensor networks, distributed computing and networking, signal processing, artificial intelligence, and sensor-data analytics.[1] His work has included applications in environmental monitoring, energy systems, security, and health monitoring.[1][4]
SensorWeb Research Laboratory
[edit]Song established the SensorWeb Research Laboratory in 2005.[4] He continues to direct the laboratory at the University of Georgia.[6] The laboratory's research focuses on sensor data analytics and security, sensor networks, data infrastructure, and cyber-physical systems.[6]His lab invented the first "subsurface camera" for real-time subsurface imaging, which senses the reflected and refracted seismic signals and computes the 3D subsurface imaging in real-time and continuously.
His lab also first invented tri-axis bodyseismography (BSG) for passive and non-contact cardiorespiratory and sleep monitoring.
Research conducted through the laboratory has included applications in environmental monitoring, energy systems, infrastructure security, and contactless health and activity monitoring.[1][7]
Environmental sensor networks
[edit]In 2009, Song was principal investigator of a NASA-funded technology research project that deployed sensor-network devices inside and around the crater of Mount St. Helens. The project involved participation from Washington State University, the United States Geological Survey, and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.[3] The deployment was used to demonstrate low-cost sensor networking for real-time monitoring in a challenging volcanic environment.[3]
Cyber-physical systems
[edit]At UGA, Song directs the Center for Cyber-Physical Systems, an interdisciplinary research center focused on cyber-physical systems research, education, and applications.[2] His UGA research profile lists work in sensor signal processing and artificial intelligence, distributed computing and networking, cyber-physical systems, sensor networks, and data infrastructure.[1]
