About Me
I am a Ph.D. student at USC, Stanford University Electrical Engineering Department. I am working with Professor Bernd Girod in Image, Video and Multimedia Systems (IVMS) group.
Education
- Ph.D. (expected Dec. 2011), Electrical Engineering, Stanford University, advised by Bernd Girod.
- M.Eng., Electrical Engineering, National University of Singapore, 2007, advised by Qibin Sun and Yong Lian.
- B.Eng. (1st Honors), Electrical Engineering, National University of Singapore, 2005.
Research Interests
In broad terms, I am interested in signal processing, information theory and data communication. My doctoral work focuses on source and channel coding methods in multimedia networking problems. My interests also span compressed sensing, machine learning and media security.
