WORK EXPERIENCE
PhD Researcher/Teaching Assistant at Arizona State University 2009-2016
Designed centralized and decentralized optimization protocols for resource allocation in cloud computing with mixed integer programming in C#, ILOG OPL and CPLEX.
Analyzed differences between centralized and decentralized solutions, and developed strategies of decentralized service provider-user coordination so as to generate as good decentralized solutions as centralized ones.
Developed various heuristics for efficient resource allocation with analysis of statistical data and generated near-optimal solutions in a scalable manner.
Assisted in teaching 4 undergraduate and 1 graduate courses ranging in size from 15-50 students, and supervised students in final projects, graded exams and weekly homework.
Topics included: Information Systems Engineering, Foundation of Information Systems Engineering, Introduction of Industrial Engineering, Economic Analysis for Engineers, Operations Research.
MS Researcher/Teaching Assistant at San Jose State University 2007-2008
Conducted literature reviews about optimization strategies in airport taxiway routing and runway assignment, sequencing and scheduling.
Constructed mathematical models for about a quarter of the capacity of Dallas-Fort Worth airport using mixed integer programming with 41 nodes and 70 links, generating 1235 variables and 7750 constraints implemented in AMPL and CPLEX.
Assisted in teaching 2 undergraduate courses ranging in size from 30-50 students, prepared course materials including projects and homework problems, and supervised students in final projects, graded exams and weekly homework.
Topics included: Operations Planning and Control, System Simulation.
Graduate Researcher at University of California, Berkeley 2006-2007
Constructed a flyability model to determine if an airplane could fly when convective weather occurs.
Analyzed 42 thirty-minute controller-pilot voice-recording samples, and constructed Logit and Probit regression models to illustrate potential relationships between several explanatory variables and dependent variable (i.e. miscommunication).
Developed simulation models for traffic operations.
MS Researcher at University of Iowa 2004-2006
Designed and tested asphalt mix conditions.
Analyzed pavement crack information using pavement distress analysis software.
Created relational database management system using SQL and MS Access.
