OBJECTIVE:

To secure a full-time software development position in a computer networking team developing/researching advanced technology for wireless networks, mobile computing and services, mobile ad-hoc networks, or network security.

EDUCATION:

M.S. Computer Science, UCLA, Winter 2002 ~ Fall 2003, GPA: 3.94/4.00
B.S. Computer Science and Engineering, UC Davis, Fall 1996 ~ Winter 2001

WORK EXPERIENCE:

Integrated Surgical System Davis, June 2000 ~ Sept. 2000
Biomedical Software Programmer -- Implemented a toolpath generation software in C++ for Robodoc© Surgical System to perform Total Knee Replacement orthopedic surgery. Robodoc© is a computer-controlled surgical robot equipped with specialized drill bits and other hardware for preparing bones for prosthetic implants by removing planes surfaces on the femur and tibia for knee implants. The software is being used to perform total knee replacement surgeries in Europe, Middle East, and Asia.

Optical Coating Laboratory, Inc. (OCLI) Santa Rosa, June 1999 ~ Sept 1999
CAD Application Programmer -- Worked with a team led by Chief Science Officer of OCLI to design, prototype, and implement an optical coating design application in Java for OCLI Research Department to design optical thin film coating and components. OCLI is the world's largest manufacturer of optical thin film coatings and components.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:

UCLA Computer Science Department Los Angeles, Summer 2001 ~ Present
Graduate Research Assistant -- Working in Wireless Networking Group (WiNG) under Professor Songwu Lu's guidance. Research interests and experiences include wireless networks, mobile computing and services, sensor networks, mobile ad-hoc networks, and network security.

  • DIRAC: Distributed Router Archietecture
    Designed, implemented, and evaluated a software-based wireless edge router system and three prototype services: mobility management, channel adaptive scheduling, and security management for wireless computing environment. Implemented an IPv6 enabled software router with mobile IPv6 support and developed an embedded Linux platform for off-the-shelf 802.11b access points.
  • GRAB: Gradient Broadcast Protocol
    Implemented and simulated a scalable, robust data delivery protocol to provide robust data forwarding for large scale sensor network. Simulated the protocol under both ns-2 and Parsec simulators.
  • PEAS: Probing Environment and Adaptive Sleeping Protocol
    Implemented and simulated a distributed energy consumption management protocol used to build robust, long-lived sensor network using unreliable, short-lived sensors. Simulated the protocol under both ns-2 and Parsec simulators.
  • SCAN: Security for Mobile Ad-hoc Networks
    Investigated network security design from the network performance centric perspective in mobile ad-hoc network under five performance metrics: scalability, availability, robustness, communication overhead, and computation complexity. Simulated several network security designs using ns-2 simulator.
