I am a Research Fellow at the Hamilton Institute. From Oct. 2009 to Sep. 2011, I am working at the CS department of UT Austin visiting Prof. Lili Qiu. Previously, I passed the viva for PhD thesis in May 2008. I got my second M.S. from Université de Nice - Sophia Antipolis France (major in network and distributed computing) in 2004. When I was in my country, China, I got my first M.S. from ZhongShan University in 2001, and B.S. from JiLin University in 1998, both major in Computer Science. From 2001 to 2003, I was working in Huawei Technology Beijing as a software engineer (cv).
