Internet of Things: Recent Advances and Applications



Bio-sketchNi-Bin Chang received his B.S. degree in Civil Engineering from National Chiao-Tung University, Taiwan in 1983, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degree in Environmental Systems Engineering from Cornell University, USA in 1989 and 1991, respectively. He joined the University of Central Florida (UCF) in 2005. He is a Professional Engineer in the United States with almost 30 years’ experience in research, teaching, and outreach/community services. Chang’s research lies at the intersection of sustainability science and sustainable engineering with highly interdisciplinary nature. He has been seeking for interdisciplinary sustainability solutions for three decades to discover synergistic knowledge with the aid of convergence science. These findings are deeply rooted among intertwined issues in industrial ecology, ecological engineering, hydrological science, environmental engineering, earth science, computer science, operation research, system engineering, food-energy-water nexus, remote sensing, and spatial informatics. He strived to tackle cross-linked issues in water availability and quality, air quality, waste flows, urban growth, and urban food-energy-water nexus at varying scales. He has over 270+ journal publications, 9 books, 11 special issues of academic journals, and 9 United States patents. He served as a plenary speaker for several conferences. He was the associate editor of AGU journal of Water Resources Research, ASCE journal of Hydrologic Engineering, and others. He serves as the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, and an associate editor of the IEEE Systems Journal. He served the general chair of 2014 IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Networking and Control and 2014~2018 SPIE Conference of Remote Sensing and Modeling of Ecosystems for Sustainability. He is the vice chair of the Executive Committee of the IEEE Environmental Engineering Committee. He was the recipient of many awards/honor, including the Distinguished Visiting Fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering, United Kingdom, Fulbright Scholar Award in the USA/Germany, Bridging the Gaps Award from Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in United Kingdom, Outstanding Achievement Award (ASCE) in the USA, and the Blaise Pascal Award from the European Academy of Science. He is Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (FAAAS), the American Society of Civil Engineers (FASCE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (FIEEE), the International Society of Optics and Photonics (FSPIE), the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) in the United Kingdom, National Academy of Inventor (NAI), and the European Academy of Sciences (EurASc). From Aug. 2012 to Aug. 2014, he worked as a program director of the Cyber-enabled Sustainability Science and Engineering (CyberSEES) program and the Hydrologic Science Program at the National Science Foundation in the USA. ................
