Work Experience

Merck Co. & Inc., Rahway, NJ

09/2008-present

Programmer Analyst

Work for the Applied Computer Science and Mathematics Department and then

the Imaging Department, supporting various types of bio-signal and medical

image processing and analysis for compound efficacy validation, via Matlab,

and C++ (ITK). Raw data are mainly acquired from Visualsonics, Bruker, or

Siemens systems.

. Develop algorithms to obtain hemodynamic information from Doppler

signal along with respiration rate, blood pressure and ECG.

. Develop algorithms to extract and calibrate vessel waveforms from

Mmode image along with respiration rate.

. Develop novel biomarkers to interpret blood velocity waveform, vessel

wall property and wall motion, and ventricle strain.

. Perform general statistical analysis and visualize the result through

statistical plots.

. Design and deliver standalone GUI (graphical user interface) to

provide interactivity and visual feedback during biomedical

image/signal processing and analysis.

. Develop a PA Loop (blood pressure vs. vessel cross-section area) model

to optimize the search for the delay between the two signals.

. Develop algorithms to segment cortical and trabecular bones from MRI

DICOM images, and define biomarkers for quantifying the bone growth.

. Develop image segmentation algorithms and methods for calculating fat

distribution from MRI T2 images.

. In charge of an outsourced software development project for 3D

ultrasound image segmentation and reconstruction. With the automated

batch processing, this software saves about 60% processing time as

compared to the manual segmentation software.

03/2006-05/2006

Intern

Participated in a project to set up the AC system for a textile

manufacturing plant, from software simulation to hands-on motor control on

site.

. Performed simulation in Matlab Simulink for the whole closed loop

system of the manufacturing plant. Modulated motor parameters for

adapting the whole system to the textile manufacturing plant

environment.
