Biography

Jin Cao has been a distinguished member of technical staff at Bell Laboratories, Alcatel-Lucent since 1997. She got her Ph.D. from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, McGill University, Canada in 1997 and joined Bell Laboratories later in the year.  Her Ph.D. thesis was on the statistical analysis of brain images. Her current research focuses on statistical problems arising from data networks, for example, network tomography, traffic modeling and simulation, performance analysis, and data streaming algorithms.
