Research Summary

My research has been focused on the multimedia system, including improving the user experience quality and resolving the security issues in a bottom-up method. I have a solid research background with AI, computer vision, embedded system, hardware security, mobile computing, VR/AR and HCI. More specifically, I have conducted research projects including:

  • Viewport prediction for live Virtual Reality video streaming using deep video content analysis and user feedback.
  • Improving the privacy and security of multimedia system following a bottom up approach, from the low-level hardware security of the heterogeneous platform to the upper-level software algorithm (e.g. machine learning).

Besides, during my internship, I extend my research areas and focus on the problems of the next generation wireless communication (6G), using AI to solve the complicated parameters estimation of large intelligent surface. Furthermore, I am conducting research to bridge the gap between the next generation wireless communication network and the emerging multimedia system. Here is my professional summary:

  • 8 peer-reviewed publications and 6 academic presentations.
  • 2 undergraduate research grants.
  • 2.5-year teaching experience honored with Best Teaching Assistant Award.
