Hi, I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and M.Sc. student in Electrical Engineering at Texas Tech University, USA. In CS, I work with Dr. Yuanlin Zhang on logic-based artificial intelligence, like automated planning and scheduling. We work in a very board field, including CLP (Constraint Logic Programming), ASP (Answer Set Programming), and some fundamental algorithms. In EE, I am doing a research on intelligent EEG signal classification and prediction of certain neural diseases. This project is co-supervised by Dr. Donald Yu-Chun Lie and Dr. Yuanlin Zhang.

Beyond research, I like hacking electronics and computers. I like to DIY control circuits working with cool open source software on Linux. For example, I am gonna switch the slow cooker in my kitchen through Internet from my office. That's why I am a zealot of open source technologies (Linux, Python, etc.) - I want totally control to my system. I am always dreaming to start up a company as Google or Facebook and discussing how they make success with my friends. And I also like to pass my passion to tomorrow's engineers.

Though I am an engineering student, I love arts very much. Watching movies is the most way I relax. Vincent Van Gogh's "Starring night" hangs on the wall of my lab. And I like "Sunflowers" by him. Mozart and Beethoven are my favorite composers. Yanni's "New Age Music" and Heavy Metal Rock of some German bands are frequently played on my computer. Though I don't do sports often, but I like them as well, sport aerobics (Not only for girls!), cycling, basketball, swimming, etc. Recently, I just fall in love with swing dance. It brings me a lot of fun with friends.

Please feel free to contact me.
