I am currently working at Aware Inc. for Dr. DSL diagnostic software developement. That diagnostic software is widely used for service pre-qualification, provisioning and maintenance of DSL subscriber lines. Before joined Aware Inc., I worked at Lucent Technologies for WiMax system simulation; and Zhongxing Telecom Equipment (ZTE) Co. Ltd. for GSM handset development. During 2000 to 2005, I was a Ph.D. candidate working with Prof. Yeheskel Bar-Ness in the Center of Communication and Signal Processing Research at the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering,  New Jersey Institute of Technology.

My research focuses on multi-carrier system, such as DSL, OFDM, MC-CDMA and MIMO-OFDM. Specifically, I worked on the modeling of OFDM transmission over time variant channels, rate capacity of MC-CDMA system, and the signature sequence adaptation of MC-CDMA system.

Here is my Resume.
