About

Smiley face

I am a System & Software Engineer at Qualcomm working on algorithm design, performance analysis and optimization for wireless communications.

Before joining Qualcomm, I got my PhD in Electrical Engineering from UCLA. I got my master degree from Chalmers in Sweden.

Things that I like

I am passionate about science and technology. I love math, I enjoy coding and I am a big fan of classical music. Doing these things makes me really happy.

Math

I love math. My favorite branch is mathematical analysis. I am fascinated about topics in topological space, real analysis, probability, statistics and optimization.

Coding

Coming from the Matlab/C background1, I am really excited about Julia: a high-level dynamic language with C-ish performance. I can quickly prototype a complicated algorithm and get very good performance. I use Julia both in my research works and my teaching2.

Music

I love classical music, from Baroque to Romantic. My favorite composers are Bach, Chopin, Rachmaninoff and Scriabin.
