Lin Cai

Lin Cai is a Chinese-Canadian telecommunications engineer known for her work on topology control in wireless networks[1][2] and in the applications of wireless communications to self-driving cars.[3] She was educated at the University of Waterloo and is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Victoria.[4]

Cai should be distinguished from her coauthor Lin X. Cai of the Illinois Institute of Technology, also a wireless networking engineer, also a student of the same advisor at the University of Waterloo, and also an IEEE Fellow.[5]

Education and career

Cai has a bachelor's degree from the Nanjing University of Science and Technology.[4] She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Waterloo in 2005, under the supervision of Xuemin (Sherman) Shen,[5] and in the same year joined the University of Victoria faculty.[6]

Recognition

Cai became an E. W. R. Steacie Memorial Fellow of the Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council in 2019.[2] She was named an IEEE Fellow in 2020, affiliated with the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society, "for contributions to topology control of wireless networks".[7] She was elected to the College of New Scholars of the Royal Society of Canada in 2020,[1] and is a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering.[8]
