About Me


I am currently with the Computer Science and Engineering Department at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I am interested in sensor (and actuator) networks/systems. My on-going research is on their software engineering issues (fault tolerance and testing) and networking issues.

I received an MPhil degree and a PhD degree in computer science from The Chinese Unviersity of Hong Kong in 2006 and 2009, respectively. My thesis advisors were Prof. Michael R. Lyu and Prof. Jiangchuan Liu. Prof. JC Liu is with School of Computing Science, Simon Fraser University, Canada. Here is the website of Prof. JC Liu's Multimedia and Wireless Networking Group. I was a visiting student in the Multimedia and Wireless Networking lab at Simon Fraser University from May, 2009 to August, 2009.

I received my B.Sc. degree in Electronics from Peking University under the supervision of Prof. Xuzong Chen in 2000. I worked at Prof. Chen's Laboratory of Laser Cooling and Atom Trapping (now named the Institute of Quantum Electronics) at Peking University during my undergraduate years and designed some electronic devices for the lab's Laser Frequency Stabilization System. However, I know little on quantum electronics even now. But great physical scientists and mathematicians are always "heros in my heart". See a (very interesting) biography of Dr. Richard Feynman: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman (and a Chinese online version) :-).

Before coming to CUHK, I've been working in industrial area for several years as hardware engineer with Huawei Technologies (the department where I was working is now part of Emerson Network Power), later software engineer with Ramaxel Ltd. and Yongda Electronics Ltd, all in China. I wrote a memory tester for Ramaxel. The company was the largest memory manufactory in China and 4th largest memory manufactory in the world at that time which made memories for most branded PCs in China. The tester was the sole tester the company adopted. It is interesting that the codes I wrote were ran by most branded PCs in China. In Yongda, my colleagues and I designed and coded the authorization and encryption modules (X.501 CA, RA and an SSL-like communication module) for a railway ticket system. The system is now widely adopted in China.

More About Me

 

 

I was born and raised in Lufeng (Chinese: 陆丰), China. Something interesting about Lufeng is that it officially includes a 1681-square-km mainland-region and the Dongsha Islands (Pratas Islands). The mainland area where I was born is administered by Guangdong Province, but the Islands are administered by the Taiwan Government.

 

My mother is Hoklo people (Chinese: 鹤佬人) and my father is from Teochew (Chinese: 潮州). As a result, I'm a native speaker of Southern Min language (Chinese: 闽南语). My "strange" accent is influenced by Hoklo dialect (Chinese: 鹤佬话) and Teochew dialect (Chinese: 潮州话). And I can probably understand the languages spoken by Chinese people from Eastern Guangdong, Southern Fujian, Taiwan, and Singapore.

 

Besides Southern Min language, I also speak Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese fluently, both of which were learnt when I was a young boy. But I seldom spoke Cantonese until I came to Hong Kong where most people speak Cantonese here. I can also understand a little bit Hakka language and Wu language which I am currently learning.
