Bio

I had spent many years of teaching and researching at Courant Institute, New York University. At Courant, I had done research in the areas of Network Optimizations, Video Communications, Quantum Computing and Stochastic Risk Analysis. I also worked in Software Industries for eight years as a Software Research Analyst/Architect. The companies that I worked with are Micromuse Inc., Opus360 Inc, Real Media Inc. and Health Insurance Plan of Greater New York. At Micromuse, I worked on the research project of Traffic Analysis and Control, Caching Architecture and Engine. At Opus360, I devoted my time on the Visualization Research and the Flow Control Architecture.

I earned my Bachelor's degrees in Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics from State University of New York at Stony Brook, a Master's degree in Computer Engineering from Boston University and a PhD from New York University.

Research

My current active research areas are in Stochastic Risk Computing, Wireless Communications, Quantum Computing and Image Processing.
  • Stochastic Risk Computing: probability of ruin is to model to observe and predict the chance of bankruptcy for companies, given the initial value and interest rate. Brownian motions and connections to other models in Risk Management are under investigations.
  • Wireless Communications: Multiuser access and interference are main problems needing to improve. Techniques in Multiuser Detection, Channel Feedback Decision, Optimum Receivers, together with Collision Resolution are in examination.
  • Quantum Computing: the future of computing will be involved with high speed computation and the associations of Qubit play crucial roles. Several projects that I have approached are Quantum Search Algorithm, Quantum Key Distribution & Cryptography. Quantum Cohomology and String theory are also in progress projects.
  • Image Processing: projects are progressed in Multidimensional Signal Processing, Stability of Multidimensional Signals, Stochastic Models for Noise and Representations, 3D Game Architectures.
