Professor Jia received his Ph.D. from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York in 1990. Currently, Professor Jia's research interests include: combinatorial number theory, graph theory, and computer network designs. Recently, he has been working on domination problems in graph theory and the routing problems in wireless networks.
