Research:
Graduate Research Assistant, University of
Pittsburgh, Sept. 1998 - July 2002.
Proposed a novel area-based feedback control approach
for reliable IP multicast, presented a set of mechanisms
that effectively and efficiently manages the
performance-degrading areas in a multicast group, and
conducted extensive simulation studies. The area-based
approach is also applied to overlay multicast to improve
its adaptability to Internet dynamics. Main
contributions include a scalable overlay multicast
tree construction algorithm, active performance
monitoring schemes and fault adaptation algorithm.
Research Engineer, Northern Jiaotong
University, November 1994 - July 1995.
Collaborated with other researchers in a jointly funded
project: Automatic fault diagnosis system for
electronic devices. Main duties include the
development of database, communications between computer
and detectors, and human-computer interface.
Teaching:
Teaching Fellow:, University of Pittsburgh,
Fall 2003.
Introduction to Telecommunications (Graduate
course)
In full charge of course development and instructions:
lectures, class notes, homeworks and exams.
Substitute Lecturer, University of Pittsburgh,
Spring 2003.
Internet Construction (Undergraduate course)
Computer Networks (Graduate course)
Electronic Communications 2 (Graduate course)
Lab Development, University of Pittsburgh,
Summer 2000.
Developed a novel laboratory exercise named
Effects of Processing Gain on the Bit Error Rate
in CDMA using MatLab Simulink. The objective is to
provide students visual views of some working principles
in CDMA.
Graduate Student Assistant, University of
Pittsburgh, September 1998 - present.
Worked independently or team-worked with other GSAs for
various courses. Set up and configured course labs,
supervised weekly lab exercises, graded homework
assignments, maintained weekly office hours and assisted
class projects for various courses including Network
Performance, Computer Networks, Local Area Networks,
Wide Area Networks, Internet Construction, Electronic
Communications 2, Switching Systems, Fundamental of
Wireless Communications, etc.
