Forrest Sheng Bao's Cyberhome

As a graduate student paralleling on M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering(EE) and Ph.D. in Computer Science(CS), my research interests are mainly on three fields, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Biomedical Signal Processing (BSP) and Bioinformatics. In BSP, I am working on the epilepsy diagnosis/localization and seizure prediction thru EEG signal classification/recognition/analysis. In AI, my work is about logic-based AI, such as SAT, CSP, ASP, constraint optimizations, automated planning and scheduling. I focus on combining different knowledge representation methods and solving techniques to build more powerful AI agent to think, rationally. In Bioinformatics, I develop algorithms for the data mining on plant siRNA related issues.

Beyond research, I like hacking electronics and computers. I like to DIY control circuits working with cool open source software on Linux, e.g., switching the slow cooker in my kitchen through Internet from my office-actually everywhere around the world with Internet connection. That's why I am a zealot of open source technologies (Linux, Python, etc.) - I want total control to my system.

My career plan is to be a professor in EE or CS, in an English-speaking university. I like research and teaching, as well as serving my community, such as being a high school engineering mentor to help more kids love science and engineering. Beyond this, I want to have a startup company making money from open source technology- of course, not selling software compiled from GPL'ed code and closing my modification.

Please feel free to contact me, or personally visit my office.
