Biography

Dah Ming received his first degree from Imperial College, London, and then a PhD degree from Harvard University. Before joining CUHK in 2002, Dah Ming worked for AT&T Bell Laboratories from 1980-81, Digital Equipment Corporation from 1981-96, and Sun Microsystems Labs from 1997-2002.

While at Digital, Dah Ming did pioneering work on network congestion control and avoidance, which contributed to the development of congestion control for the Internet today. He also worked on network monitoring and co-authored a book on the subject. He contributed to the 1992 edition of the X.500 directory services standards. During the mid 90's, at the Alta Vista division of Digital, he was one of the key principals in the development of a web-based application platform (Web Forum), which became a successful product. While at Sun Labs, Dah Ming worked on reliable multicast, and deadlock-free routing algorithms for data center switched fabrics (such as Infiniband).

Since returning to academia, Dah Ming has actively served the research community, as TPC members of Sigcomm, Infocom, CoNext, ICNP and many other conferences. He has served as an associated editor of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking from 2006 to 2011. He has served as department chairman since Aug 2009.
