RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Research Assistant, UC Santa Barbara, CA, USA Jan 2011 - Present

- WiGis (Web-based Interactive Graph Interfaces) and KD-D Project

Retrieve and process a variety of information(RDF, RDFs, HTML, Social Network

Information)

from different sources.

KD-D(Knowledge Discovery and Dissemination) is a research project in data mining and

visualization, which is driven by National Science Foundation(NSF), focusing on entity-

event

relations in large data collections.

Generate graph data structure and visualize with WiGis framework.

- Modeling Topic Specific Credibility in Twitter

Presents and evaluates three computational models for recommending credible topic-

specific

information in online social network.

An evaluation on 5 topic specific data sets mined from the Twitter REST and Streaming

API, with

specific focus on a data set of 40K users who tweeted about the topic Libya was

conducted.

- A step towards marker-less augmented reality and tracking

SURF feature extraction, matching and homography.

Enable real-time augmented reality using any pattern/object of choice.

Treats the problem of augmentation of the objects as a problem of recognition and

registration in the

3D space of the pattern under consideration.

- A Framework for Modeling Trust in Collaborative Ontologies

Proposes a novel approach in a collaborative semantic web context with trust and

credibility model.

Adopt three major variables Trust, Credibility and Expertise and develop a trust model

to show

trustworthiness of the provenance of web ontologies.

- Exploring your social graph with Facebook and Twitter API

Data-mining + Interactive Data Visualization(RIA-ActionScript3.0, JavaScript, HTML5)

Visualize gathered and filtered data (recommendation based on a user s preference) in 2-D

and 3-D

graphs/vectors

- WSN(Wireless Sensor Network)

Field test : Measurements of interfering variables on a transmission via integrated ad-

hoc

network(Mesh - Wi-Fi - DSRC - Sensor Network)

Correspondence between OBU(On-board-unit) in vehicles and DSRC access points from mobile

sensor node view

Effects of visibility between sensor nodes on communications

Improving compatibility of sensor node data

Automated floriculture cultivation using WSN infrastructure (Personal Research)

- Mobile Service Development (Focused on Cloud Computing with Enterprise Solutions)

Analysis of distinct properties - iPhone and Blackberry(the most outstanding smartphone

pair)

Methodology of cloud-computing service on virtual private network

customizable application service model based on cloud/grid computing technology

- RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification)

Field test : Dependency of RFID tag reading ratio under various circumstances

Prior technical validation for RFID based Beef Traceability System

Participated in a development of RFID middleware(RUBI-ware)

SCM(Supply Chain Management) Pilot Project - RFID infrastructure for Air Cargo

- u-City(Intelligent Home-Networking)

Water(Stream) quality sustaining system by Wireless Sensor Network technology

WSN based remote health care system
