My M.S. research focused on pressure fluctuation signal analysis in gas-solid fluidized beds with time-frequency distributions and wavelets transform. The research resulted in three journal paper publication in the top-notch international research journals."]

With Minor Degree in Applied Mathematics."]

My Ph.D. research focused on developing image processing algorithms for high-quality and high-speed digital printing and color imaging. The research projects were funded by HP. All three invented image processing algorithms were patented and exclusively licensed to HP. The algorithms have been built into ASICs and deployed in tens of millions' of HP MFP products Activities and Societies: Vice President of Purdue University Chinese Student and Scholar Association (PUCSSA), 2001 - 2002 Term.
