Experience 

       Research Assistant, Institute for Neuro- and Bioinformatics, Luebeck University, Luebeck, 23538, Germany (4/2007-6/2007): With a project on feature-based head tracking, I used the non-equispaced Fast Fourier Transform(NFFT) to compute geometric features on a 3D range data obtained by a 3D time-of-flight camera.

 
      Internship at Bell Laboratories of Alcatel Lucent Company (6/2008-8/2008): We are building a Distributed Hash Table(DHT) algorithm for the Content Addressable Network(CAN) implementation of a P2P system. The intent is to use the CAN DHT in future research involving the use of SIP in P2P voice-over-IP (VoIP) system.

Academic Fun Facts


My Erdos number is four, which means I am 4-hops away from Paul Erdös (a great mathematician) in the collaboration graph. The coauthors of mine who have an Erdos number 3: Xiang-Yang Li.
