Objective

A research and development full-time position in the area of real-time and embedded systems, pervasive and mobile computing, or network.

Qualifications Summary

Expertise in computer software design and implementation.
Comprehensive involvement in management of teams and individuals.
More than 5 years work experience in software development.

Education

Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering, May 2003
Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI
M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering, May 1998
Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI
M.S./B.S. in Electrical Engineering, June 1992/1990

Research

Build a Java framework for developing self-adaptive software under dynamic heterogeneous environments. The framework has been applied to pervasive computing, soft real-time systems, and adaptive robotic control system.
The implementation has been tested successfully on Linux (PC, iPAQ, and Nomadic XR4000).
Add soft real-time capability to Java that requires exhaustive study on an open JVM, Kaffe.

Work Experience

Aug. 1999 - Present

Teaching Assistant Department of Computer Science, MSU
Conduct lab sessions, answer questions and grade homeworks for CSE231/232(C++ Language), CSE410(Operation System), CSE420(Computer Architecture), CSE830(Design and Theory of Algorithms), and CSE835(Algorithmic Graph Theory).

May 2001 - Present, Jan. 1997 - Aug. 1999

Research Assistant Department of Civil Engineering, MSU
Developed GUI and improved the functionality for the pavement design software, MFPDS, on Windows sponsored by Michigan Department of Transportation. MFPDS is a team project and requires communication with people from different engineering fields. Manage project development. The GUI is developed solely in C++ (> 100,000 lines) with Visual Studio. The core algorithm is developed collaboratively in Fortran with Visual Fortran.
