Courses

Profile

  • More than four years fulltime college teaching experience (Three were in SUNY College at Old Westbury).
  • Over 10 years of hands-on IT experience in analysis, designing, development, testing and product support of Communication services, Web applications and e-Commerce software products.
  • 6 years of experience in internet/intranet systems, solid background in multi-tier client/server applications.

Research

  • Distributed Systems
    The research focuses on Grid Computing and Peer-to-Peer systems. These two areas are newly emerging network models for the family of distributed systems where the goal is to share resources across their participants. This research includes applications, infrastructure, security, performance and related techniques in the areas. I am participating in a grant application, which is worked by the Computer Science Department at New Jersey City University (NJCU). A project as a part of the grant involved building a network lab to do the research on cluster computation at NJCU.
  • Software Engineering in Education
    The research focuses on the curriculum and pedagogy of Software Engineering course to the undergraduate computer science students in a four-year college (not the students in software engineering school) to meet real world needs. It is challenging to teach the necessary concepts as well as have the students complete a moderate size project within a semester.

Publications and Activities

  • My paper entitled The Four Ps in an Undergraduate Software Engineering Course has been accepted by the 2007 Frontiers in Education Conference (FIE 2007). I will present the paper in Oct. 2007 at the conference.
  • I served as a session chair (pedagogy) in ACM Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education (SIGCSE) 2007 Conference in March 2007.
  • Co-author of the chapter "A Glance at VLSI Optical Interconnects: From the Abstract Modelings of the 1980s to Today’s MEMS Implementations" of the book entitled Handbook Innovative Computing. The book was published by Springer US in 2006.
