Work Experience:
---------------
Computer Vision (Manifold Learning)
Fall 2006 - Present
Synopsis: Using a set of medical images (each of which may not capture
the entire region of interest) we find both the tissue
structure and motion due to physiological activity such as
breathing and heartbeat. Our model is comprised of a
parameterized set of B-spline deformations of a reference
volume, allowing us to describe arbitrary deformations of a
tissue structure.
Advisor: Professor Robert Pless

Networking (Congestion Control)
Fall 2004 - Spring 2006
Synopsis: I developed a congestion control protocol similar to TFRC
(TCP Friendly Rate Control) which is robust to receiver
misbehavior. And, I developed a router queuing discipline to
ensure end-to-end fairness.
