Fudan University, Shanghai, China (2004 Sep. 2008 Jul.)

B.S. in Physics with honored thesis, June 2008

Major GPA: 3.9 of 4.0

Molecular Dynamics simulation of Brownian motion of particles

Projects

• Written in C/C++, 5000+ lines, run on Linux and Mac OS

• Studied the correlation between rotations and translations of nano-particles

• Large data processing by Matlab and Mathematica, successfully make it 5

times faster by using MEX-files to call C/C++ library

• Prospective application to the stochastic process for many real-life problems,

such as index fluctuation in stock market

Educational software development

• Developed (10+) computer assisted course-wares for physics education

• Written in C/C++ (Windows) with 2000+ lines for each

• Provided GUI (MFC and OpenGL/glut) to explain the complex concepts

The statistics of the nearly independent particle system

• Written in Visual Studio (MFC), 3000+ lines with 3D GUI by OpenGL

• Achieved a better understanding of the statistical law of particle system

• Potential applicable to complex network such as Internet

Course projects

• OpenGL: 3D visualization of a 4-Dimensional object’s rotation

• Python: finding the most occurred items in a very large file (10Gb+)
