SUMMARY

PhD in theoretical and computational physics (nonlinear dynamics group) with expertise in statistical modeling,

high performance computing, algorithm analysis and data visualization. Using C++, MATLAB, R and MySQL to

simulate and analysis systems ranging from fundamental quantum mechanics to trading network of political future

since 2007. Implementing several complex mathematical equations into programming languages and applying

machine learning algorithm to analysis more than 100,000 two-dimensional figures which are over 10 Terabytes

totally. I am looking for a machine learning developer position where I can apply my analytic and programming

skills.

RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

University of Maryland, College Park, MD

Research Assistant, Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics, September 2008 - Present

● Created new statistical models and derived new theories to solve problems about wave transportation and

tunnelling in complex quantum mechanical systems. Developed code on C++/MATLAB to verify these results and

make new predictions. Published these results in peer reviewed journals and presented in several academic

conferences.

● Collaborated with UMD Experimental Quantum Chaos group, analyzed and visualized experimental data and

used ANSYS HFSS to design new experiment to study acoustic, electromagnetic and quantum wave properties in

corresponding systems.

● Developed and maintained a high efficient partial differential equation solver for Helmholtz equation on C++ with

openMP and CUDA that allow us to solve more than 100,000 eigenmodes with arbitrary boundary shape. Obtain

about O(N) efficient than traditional finite element method.

● Optimized the "Terrapin RCM Solver" for calculating the scattering matrix of microwave cavities by applying

tridiagonalization algorithm to simplify dense Gaussian random matrices to sparse Chi-square random matrices

and parallel programming.

● Built a MySQL database and used R to analysis US car accidents data from 1994 through 2006 and global plane

accidents data from 1987 through 2007 and designed a model to explain how human behavior affect the time

series distribution of these accidents by applying cellular automaton in multi-lane traffic.

● Developed a pattern recognition using machine learning algorithm to analysis over 200,000 two-dimensional

density plots of wave equation and discovered rare scar eigenmodes. Discovered over counting eigenmodes in

the scaling method of Methods of Particular Solution algorithm and redesign the algorithm to prevent this error.

Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan

Research Assistant, Department of Physics, July 2006 - August 2008

● Assisted in developing online political futures trading platform for Taiwan Political Exchange (TAIPEX) in 2008

Taiwanese presidential and Legislative election. Analyzed the trading behavior and the dynamics of wealth

distribution.

● Implemented several Monte Carlo simulations for complex system in C++, including Swendsen-Wang algorithm

for Ising model phase transition, three-dimensional dendrite formation, and growth of complex network.
