INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE |
|
> Nokia Research Center
Palo Alto, CA
May 2008 ~ Dec 2008
Research Intern
with the Social Proximity Networks team.
Studied and prototyped temporal-spatial opportunistic messaging applications on mobile devices, which enable multiple forms of communications by utilizing human encounters and mobilities through heterogeneous wireless connectivities. The prototype was implemented in Python on the Symbian S60 platform on Nokia N95 8GB smart phones.
> Nokia Research Center
Palo Alto, CA
Jun 2007 ~ Dec 2007
Research Intern
with the Wireless Grids and Collaborative Devices team.
Studied and prototyped video/voice streaming-enabled messaging and content sharing
applications on mobile devices, which help build proximity-based social networks through wireless peer-to-peer connections. The prototype was implemented in C on the Linux-based Maemo platform on Nokia N800 Internet tablets.
> ALi (Shanghai) Corporation
Shanghai, China
Mar 2003 ~ Aug 2003
Software Engineer
with the Rewritable DVD Recorder group.
Developed the UDF file system module for ALi DVD recorder chip firmware. The firmware was implemented in C. |

RESEARCH OVERVIEW |
|
My research explores middleware approaches to information dissemination in heterogeneous wireless networks. Information dissemination refers to the process of delivering content data (generated by applications) from a source node to a group of mobile recipients with specific properties (spatially, temporally, etc.). The number and the identities of the recipients may or may not be known to the source node. The communications between all nodes are carried out through wireless connectivities. The wireless networks they form can be heterogeneous in terms of the access technology they employ, whether there is a backbone overlay involved, and the continuity/intermittence of the connectivity between mobile nodes. Information dissemination in wireless networks is useful in many applications in various contexts, where the constraints and the requirements vary, e.g., in social networking scenarios and in the emergency response domain. Middleware approaches that adddress the problem have the flexibility in providing services that are adaptive to applications' needs; moreover, they leave the lower layers in the network stack untouched and thus can be easily deployed on off-the-shelf mobile devices. |
