Peking University, Mar. 31, 2010: Recently, the Japanese Okawa Foundation for

University's School of Electronics Engineering and Computer Science, the 2009
Okawa Foundation Research Grant. Professor Wu is the fourth professor from PKU

within institutions of higher education and research organizations in the fields of
telecommunication and information. These fields include the fundamental and

Engineering Institute of PKU, Professor Dai Yafei, Deputy Director of PKU Institute of
