EDUCATION

Eric Johnson School of Engineering and Computer Science, University of Texas at Dallas

Ph. D. Electrical Engineering - Telecommunication, Dec 2006

GPA: 3.8/4.0

Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, P. R. China

Master of Science, Electrical Engineering, Mar 2001

GPA: 3.8/4.0

EXPERIENCE

University of Texas at Dallas

Jan. 2002 – Present

Research Assistant

Perform queueing analysis and design simulations using OPNET for Cisco University Research Program (URP) on a network architecture of path computation elements (PCEs); conduct extensive survey on IETF standards, and make proposals on PCE-related protocols.(Under NDA)
Developed novel fast local recovery solutions for Cisco URP on survivability against multiple failure patterns in MPLS-TE networks by applying linear programming, optimization theory and graph theory; the successful results led to two consecutive Cisco URP projects on different subjects.
Conducted in-depth failure pattern analysis by developing probing tools using Python for real-time failure statistics on a field network.
Led a two-member team in simulating the dynamics of failure detection in IP/MPLS networks using customized discrete-event simulator.
Designed restoration schemes with differentiated reliability for MPLS/optical networks of an NSF research project; and developed a multi-platform discrete-event-driven simulator using C++.

Teaching Assistant

Provided lecturing and prepared class materials for graduate courses in telecommunications.
Led lab activities for undergraduates in circuit design.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Aug. 2001 – Dec. 2001

Research/Teaching Assistant

Participated in research on optical network grooming.
Provided introduction classes for java network programming

Shanghai Optical Networking Technology Co., Ltd. Shanghai, P. R. China

Aug. 2000 – Jul. 2001

System Engineer / Co-Founder

Managed software development on optical network management by leading and coordinating two teams on designing manager software in Windows and agent software in VxWorks respectively.
Developed white paper on Management Information Base (MIB) and control bus interfaces for Optical Cross-Connects (OXCs).
Assisted in FPGA design for development of optical surveillance channel.
