I have finished my internship at DOCOMO USA research labs (located in Palo Alto, CA) and returned to UC Davis. I am currently looking for a research-oriented job in areas of networks, wireless communications, and optimizations.

During 01/31-02/05, I will be attending the Information Theory and Applications workshop at UCSD. I have a poster presentation on 02/01 Monday afternoon with title "Distributed power control for cognitive user access based on primary link outage feedback." See you there!
