  Position: Graduate student researcher, 09/2000--06/2004.

  Work in the Computer Communication Research Group (CCRG) headed by Prof. J. J. Garcia-Luna-Aceves. Focus on design and performance evaluation of medium access control (MAC) protocols for multi-hop ad hoc networks. Investigated collision avoidance MAC protocols that use omni-directional or directional antennas. Proposed fairness framework and mechanisms for IEEE 802.11 based ad hoc networks. Used C/C++ based simulation tools (GloMoSim, QualNet, ns2 and C++ Protocol Toolkit) to design, implement and evaluate network protocols. Also used Matlab to model the performance of network protocols.

  Also finished some projects including: used C++ and Tcl/Tk to implement the game of Othello; used Verilog to implement simple instruction set with pipelines; used Visual C++ and Adobe Photoshop SDK to write filter plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop; used OPNET and CPT to evaluate the performance of a shared bus system with several cache and disk controllers and a queuing system with one Web server and multiple classes of clients; investigated internationalization and localization in open-source software projects.
