Research

My research interests are mobile networking and protocols, particularly in the following areas:

  • Signaling Protocols for Multi-interface Mobile Systems
  • Traffic Management in Wireless Broadband Access
  • Energy Efficiency on Mobile Systems
  • Transport Layer Performance

Implementation Software and Projects

Have been employed to work on a series of R&D projects for 5+ years.

  • Energy-aware collaborative offloading framework for smartphones
    * for MADNet Project (2011 ~ present) with Deutsche Telekom Labs Germany, Univ. Maryland USA
  • Linux kernel module and extension for NAO
    * for WiBrA Project (2010 ~ present) with Nokia, Nokia Siemens Networks, TeliaSonera
  • GNU C library implementation for NAT64/DNS64 heuristic discovery and address prioritization for WiBrA
  • DNS BIND9 patch for EDNS0 IPv6 address synthesis extension for WiBrA
  • Linux netlink patch for IPv6 address label manipulation for WiBrA
  • ns-2 modules for EAP fast authentication protocol
    * for WISEciti Project (2008 ~ 2010) with Nokia, Ericsson, TeliaSonera, and VTT
  • Virtualization-based platform migration for flexible on-demand VoIP
    * for NEON Project (2007) as external researcher of Nokia Networks (current Nokia Siemens Networks); supervised by Prof. Kimmo Raatikainen and Dr. Hannu Flinck

Spare Time

Concerning sport, I am a Point Guard (PG) since age 10, representing high school and faculty of science at college. After moving to Helsinki, I've also played with many Finnish and European players. My PG role model is John Stockton.

A quote from my coach about PG - reading a game well is really hard, but extremely fun, especially for those who understand the beauty of teamwork and the opportunity behind every move.
