Short bio

Weihong has been with the iQua research group, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, for her Ph.D. study since the fall of 2001. Her supervisor is Prof. Baochun Li. Weihong received her B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees in electrical engineering from Tsinghua University, China, in 1998 and 2001, respectively. She is now expecting to receive her Ph.D. degree in March 2006.

Research interests

I am interested in applying microeconomics and game theories to analyze and design agent-based systems. My thesis work is focused on the designing and analysis of distributed algorithms and protocols for selfish peer-to-peer networks, with the aid of system control and artificial intelligence methods.
