EXPERIENCE

Intel Labs China, Beijing China 9/2012-Present
Director, Analytics and IoT Research Laboratory
– Manages the Analytics and IoT Research Lab (AIR Lab), with projects in energy and environment, smart manufacturing, wearable and context-aware systems
Chief Architect, China Intel IoT Joint Labs
– Principle Investigator for several research projects, including PAM, VeriCloud, QiLoc, and SmartRetail
– PAM project is successfully incubated into a startup – Air Scientific Inc. by Intel IoT Labs and Chinese Academy of Sciences
– High-profile media exposures including China Central Television (CCTV), People’s Daily, and Business Times.

Microsoft Research Asia, Beijing China 10/2010-9/2012
Researcher
- Accurate indoor location and geo-fencing based on magnetic-induction
– Human-building-computer interaction
– Wireless and mobile systems
– Real-time occupancy detection and energy tracking
– Mobile IPv6-based communication
– 1 U.S. patent granted, 2 under submission

Google, Palo Alto CA 6/2007-8/2007
Engineering Intern
– Designed scheduling and data exchange protocols of a novel CDMA/TDMA hybrid MAC, optimized for a next generation MIMO-based ultra-wideband PHY, targeted at “C” and “whitespace” TV bands.
– 4 U.S. patents granted

Intel Corporation, Santa Clara CA 2/2005-7/2005
Component Design Engineer
– Validation of Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) chip using SpecmanElite and Verilog. Constructed infrastructure to validate interrupts to the embedded ARC microcontroller from internal and auxiliary sources. Validated watchdog, SerialIRQ, GPIO, and several other components. Please refer to “BMC” on www.intel.com/design/servers/se7501br2/ for details.

Xilinx, San Jose CA 1/2004-7/2004
Intern Engineer
– Worked on the Gigabit System Reference Design (GSRD) project for high bandwidth systems. Designed part of the Communication Direct Memory Access Controller (CDMAC). Added coalescing interrupts, timers, support for all byte lengths and byte offsets in memory addressing.
– Designed a system to perform 3:2 video pull-down in hardware using ML300 board. Allowed video to be displayed in a moving window with animated background, using virtually no CPU time. It was used to demonstrate bandwidth and CPU utilizing of GSRD.
– Wrote interface to access and demonstrate “SystemMonitor” features of the upcoming Virtex-4 FPGA chip on the ML300 board. Worked closely using Xilinx’s Embedded Development Kit (EDK).
