| M.Eng. Year | All the time 09/10 • More cool research with Eran Tromer in CSAIL at MIT. I am currently studying how to apply PCP-based techniques to construct certain special argument systems that can be used to ensure properties of a distributed computation. |
| Senior Year | Summer 09 • Research with Eran Tromer in CSAIL at MIT. Continuing my research some problems in the theory of proofs. Can distributed theorem proving be made more efficient? Winter 08/09 • No crew winter training—need to recover from my back injury! • Research with Eran Tromer in CSAIL at MIT. I continued my research on the theory of secure back-up protocols and started studying a cool new problem in the theory of proofs. |
| Junior Year | Summer 08 • Internship at Oracle in Redwood City, CA. I designed and implemented an automated key management system for Oracle Database. The design of the system takes into account current industry and government security standards, as well as the upcoming standardized IEEE protocol in key management. Winter 07/08 • Crew winter training in Cocoa Beach, Fl, and Boston, MA. • Internship at Bank of America in Boston, MA. Using techniques from data mining and statistical learning, I investigated novel ways to predict the credit risk of small businesses. Together with another MIT student, I developed and implemented in R two new predictive models to solve the problem, one based on the idea of nearest neighbours and the other based on the idea of random forests. |
| Sophomore Year | Summer 07 • Research at the Summer Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR) 2007 at MIT. Together with math PhD student Amit Jayan Deshpande, I developed a generalization of a public-key cryptosystem based on the shortest vector problem recently developed by Oded Regev. This is the paper that discussed our results. Winter 06/07 • Studied Chinese in Tianjin, China, at the New Century Chinese Language and Culture (新世纪语言文化中心). |
| Freshman Year | Summer 06 • UROP at the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) at MIT for the group Laboratory of Organic Optics and Electronics (LOOE), under Vladimir Bulovic and Conor Madigan. I helped develop a computer simulator to trace the quantum dot monolayer assembly process by devising an accurate thermal motion model for the quantum dot packing. This is the report from my work. Winter 05/06 • Crew winter training in Hollywood, Fl, and Boston, MA. |
