About

Pingping Dong is a leading researcher in energy-efficient networking and Internet-of-Things (IoT) communications, with a particular focus on multipath transport protocols for critical infrastructure. Her most cited work, "EE-MPTCP: An Energy-Efficient Multipath TCP Scheduler for IoT-Based Power Grid Monitoring Systems" (2022, 10 citations), addresses a pressing challenge in smart grid automation: how to maintain reliable, high-throughput data transmission from inspection robots and wireless sensors while minimizing energy consumption. Dong’s key contribution lies in designing a novel scheduler for Multipath TCP that intelligently balances traffic across multiple network interfaces to reduce power usage without sacrificing performance. This work is foundational for enabling long-lasting, autonomous monitoring in power grids, where equipment must operate continuously in remote or harsh environments. Beyond this paper, Dong’s research spans green networking, IoT reliability, and adaptive transport protocols, earning her recognition as an innovator at the intersection of energy efficiency and real-world cyber-physical systems. Her findings are particularly valuable for students and engineers working on sustainable IoT deployments, offering practical solutions for extending device lifetimes while maintaining the stringent communication demands of modern power grids.
