Academic Experience

Jun 2011 - present

Mobile and Sensing Systems, Microsoft Research Asia, Beijing, China

Research Intern, advised by Dr. Xiaofan Fred Jiang

LiveSynergy

Embedded hardware system design and debugging; manufactured 60+ boards for deploy-

ment. Design and development of Windows Phone 7.5 native application to enable bi-

directional interaction

Conducted experiments to measure the reliability and consistency for zone proximity sens-

ing of current technologies (BLE, RFID, ZigBee); post-processed the raw data and compared

the results with our magnetic-based platform.

SEPTIMU

Designed the prototype with microphone and IMU, perfectly embedded in normal ear-

phones.

Wrote Windows Phone App and Matlab code for the communication using audio jack.

PhoneWeb

Implemented a GUI frontend for PhoneWeb - SubwayRendezVous client

Jul 2009 - Jun 2011

Digital Television Laboratory (DTV), Tsinghua U, Beijing, China

Research Assistant, advised by Prof. Kewu Peng

Proposed a simpli ed criterion Hamming Euclidean Distance Spectra to evaluate the equiv-

alence of labelings and obtain the classi cation of unique mappings; submitted a patent to sug-

gest a constellation mapping and de-mapping scheme by applying this criterion on DVB-S2

coded modulation systems.
