Bio
Lei Qian’s research has included investigation of passive optical logic devices, pure and applied logics, formal methods, computer security, pattern recognition, and grid computing, many of them funded via peer-reviewed funding. He published 26 papers and book chapters, including 14 peer-reviewed journals papers. In addition to serving as a reviewer for a number of journals in his research area, he also has served as a member of Program Committees for Smartel, American Computer Science Association, and SHTH (IEEE Globecom 2010 Workshop on Smart Homes for Tele-Health),and a judge of the NOAAAnnual Education and Science Forum.
