I am seeking new opportunities in academia or industry.
Hi, I am a Ph.D. graduated May 2005 from the Computer
Science Division of the Department
of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University
of California, Berkeley. My research interests are distributed
systems,
networking, and wireless sensor networks. I have related
interests
in mobile and pervasive computing. Formerly, I was an original member of
the TinyOS and Network
Embedded Systems Technology (NEST) project groups at
UC Berkeley
with Professor
Eric Brewer. The TinyOS/Nest projects are developing an
experimental
hardware/software
platform for investigating low-cost, large-scale wireless sensor
networks.
My research addresses the issue of radio power consumption and battery
life.
Wireless sensor networks must operate untethered and unattended on the
order of years. Because the radio subsystem is the dominant cost of
power
consumption
in these networks it is critical to significantly reduce
protocol
traffic and explicitly schedule radio on/off times. Flexible Power
Scheduling (FPS) is a novel network architecture approach for scheduling the
radio in wireless sensor networks. Such a
facility
exploits a two-level architecture
and structured communication as a means to achieve the low
duty cycles required for wireless multihop sensor networks.

I worked on Automatic Path Creation ("Ninja Paths") and
Interactive Voice
Response on the
ICEBERG project with
Professor Anthony
Joseph and Professor Randy
Katz. The ICEBERG Release is here.
I worked on the B-tree Storage Layer for Distributed Data Structures on
the Ninja project with
Professor Anthony Joseph,
Professor Eric Brewer,
and Steve Gribble.

Master's Thesis (errata).
Lot's of people ask me for the code to my ViaVoice Custom Audio
Library
for File I/O. Here's the
download
and
readme.
The
Media Manager Service and Transcoder Service make use of this
custom
audio library.
Spring Semester 2002, I was a Teaching Assistant for CS162:
Operating Systems and System Programming. Here is my
TA page for CS162.
