About

Cong Pu is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of wireless networking, cybersecurity, and autonomous systems, with a particular focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ad hoc networks. His most cited paper, "To Route or To Ferry: A Hybrid Packet Forwarding Algorithm in Flying Ad Hoc Networks" (2019, 19 citations), introduces a novel hybrid algorithm that intelligently balances routing and data ferrying to improve packet delivery in dynamic drone networks. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in UAV communications—maintaining connectivity in highly mobile, infrastructure-less environments. Pu’s research is notable for its practical approach to enhancing the reliability and efficiency of flying ad hoc networks, which are increasingly vital for applications like disaster response, surveillance, and delivery systems. Beyond this work, his broader portfolio explores security vulnerabilities and performance optimization in wireless systems, making him a key voice in the evolution of resilient, autonomous communication networks. His findings are particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in the intersection of robotics, networking, and cybersecurity.
