Experience Research Assistant, Computer Science Department of University of Texas at
Dallas (September 2007-present)
- Doing researches and development on algorithms in the field of
bioinformatics and computational geometry
- Use Java RMI to build program that is able to run in a scalable distributed
environment
- Use the combination of Java technology and OpenGL to build visualization
program to assist the team to develop and troubleshooting the algorithm.
- Advisor: Ovidiu Daescu Ph.D, associate professor at University of Texas at
Dallas, who has made significant contribution in the field of Bio-Medics.
Programmer, Shanghai Baosight Software Co., Ltd. Shanghai (December
2006- March 2007)
- Developed an analyzing and monitoring software that assists Shanghai
Government Water Department for flood controlling in Shanghai area
- Developed Web interface for the software using STRUTS and JSP that makes
the software package easy to use and can be accessed easily
- Use Hibernate in persistent layer, by using the middleware, we cut the cost and
time in the developing the project, also it makes the system easier to model
and more reliable.
- Use IBM WebSphere Message Queue to synchronize database in physically
different places that makes the system highly fault tolerant and prevent the
whole system to paralyze even when system in one place has failed.
- Integrate resource from heterogeneous old systems, saved a lot resources
doing redundant developing using IBM WebSphere Message Queue
- Program on the Oracle 10 database side in the software system
Academic
Projects
Self Learning Robot - As the final project for my Machine Learning class. I used
knowledge learnt in the class and build the program in which robot relies on itself
to learn to discover the structure of itself and accomplish a task. The most familiar
case to us in life would be a new born baby learns to walk. This project can be
made into a game easily, in that it allows user to participate in putting together an
artificial life out of their imagination. And it is much fun watching those artificial
life acts in a way you don’t even expect them to.
Physics Simulation - As a demonstration program for my undergraduate thesis. In
this project, objects with physics features are simulated exactly the way it is going
to be in real world. This program has much application in games and
presentations, in that it is hard to build animation frame by frame but with help of
physics simulation, things are handled by the system itself. Also it is helpful in
industrial designing in that by simulating the product in computer saves cost in
building prototype and it is easier in troubleshooting.
Animation Transformation- As is needed in the research, by using harmonic
mapping, this program is able to produce special effect of smooth transforming
from one object to the other. This effect is widely used in movie production and
game industry. And this project gives an efficient way of doing this. Java
technology and OpenGL is used in the project, Maya and 3D Max are also used in
the process of making the program.
