About Me:
I am an assistant professor in the computer engineering group at the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Southern California. Prior to my teaching career, I worked in industrial research labs for 6 years; first at the Intel Microprocessor Research Labs as a senior researcher for five years and then at the Nokia Research Center Palo Alto as a visiting research faculty for eight months. At Nokia my research focused on mobile platform services. At Intel my research focused on computer systems architecture spanning the entire computer system design space; from new silicon technologies at that hardware level to systems software analysis of server workloads. The common theme in all my research work is that I chose an experimental and quantitative approach for evaluating my ideas. As such I built mobile application prototypes at Nokia to increase information relevance using location information. At Intel I have done extensive full system simulations, built physical system prototypes and experimented with existing SMP systems to judge the merit of my computer systems architecture ideas.
My research in NEWS
- Course on Mobile Programming: The EE579 course I co-teach with Prof. Bhaskar Krishnamachari was awarded Steven's Institute's Innovation Inside award. Here is the Steven's new article. Here is what Daily Trojan has to say.
- Mobile Traffic Sensing: I co-developed a traffic monitoring system that uses GPS enabled cell phones to sense traffic conditions in real time. A large scale experiment was performed using this research platform in the San Francisco bay area on Feb 8th 2007. This research platform uses a novel concept of Virtual Trip Lines that I co-developed while working at Nokia prior to joining USC and I continue to collaborate on this project now with Nokia and UC Berkeley. The experiment was widely covered in many leading news media. Here is a select list:
Looking for PhD students
I am about to ramp up my research on two fronts. Read my research agenda to get a quick sense of my research focus. On the first front, I will be working on 3D stacking (read paper) with special emphasis on using 3D stacking for improving reliability. This is an area of significant research potential with considerable relevance to chip industry in the next 5-10 years. On the second front, I am interested in developing new applications for mobile devices with emphasis on reduced power consumption, increased privacy.
If you are a grduate student at USC, either already in PhD program or an MS student interested in entering PhD program send me email. I will discuss my research agenda more in detail at that time. Understanding architecture (EE557) is a must and understanding VLSI (EE577a/b, EE552), Networks (EE550, EE579) is desirable.
