PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Boston University, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Graduate Research Assistant Jan. 2012 - Jan. 2016
• OFDM-based wireless open access research platform implementation
– A complete wireless transmission system based on orthogonal frequency-
division multiplexing (OFDM) is developed. The performance of the sys-
tem is tested using wireless open access research platform (WARP) for
real-time transmission.

2. – Implemented compute-and-forward scheme as an interference management
method.
– Designed algorithms and signal processing methods for channel estima-
tion, payload detection, carrier frequency offset management, phase off-
set correction and maximum-likelihood decoding under the framework of
compute-and-forward.
• Collision scheduling for cellular networks
– Designed collision scheduling and interference alignment algorithms to
solve collision issues in wireless communication.
– Modeled collision scheduling problem in cellular network using graph the-
ory.
– Proposed an integer programming formulation for the scheduling problem
as well as a dynamic programming algorithm that can solve it in pseudo-
polynomial time.
• Designed algorithms for interference alignment using lattice reduction
– Developed aligned lattice reduction methods for interference alignment in
wireless interference channel.
– Developed iterative optimization algorithms for channel beamforming and
equalization.
• Established uplink-downlink duality and source-channel duality for integer-
forcing coding scheme
– Established an uplink-downlink duality for integer-forcing coding scheme
between uplink multiple-access channel and downlink broadcast channel.

3. – Established a source-channel duality for integer-forcing coding scheme be-
tween uplink multiple-access channel coding problem and Gaussian dis-
tributed source coding problem.
– Developed iterative optimization algorithms to improve wireless transmis-
sion in both the uplink channel and downlink channel.
