Electrical and Computer Engineering, 5000 Forbes Ave. Pittsburgh, PA Phone: Education Ph.D. Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA Electrical and Computer Engineering, expected graduation: Aug 2015 Thesis Title (tentative): Impact of Network Topology on Epidemics and Cascading Failures M.S. Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA Electrical and Computer Engineering, June, 2008 B.S. Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA Electrical and Computer Engineering, May, 2005, graduated summa cum laude Honors & Awards , Microsoft Azure Research Award 2014, CMU 3-Minute Thesis Competition Semifinal winner , National Science Foundation (NSF) Graduate Research Fellowship , Georgia HOPE Scholarship , Georgia Tech President s Undergraduate Research Award 2003, IEEE Atlanta Chapter Scholarship Research & Professional Experiences Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA Graduate Researcher (Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept.) Sept 2010-present Developed quantitative, stochastic dynamical model for analyzing robustness and resilience of large-scale networks to spread of virus, spread of rumors, and cascading failures. Exactly identified vulnerable substructures in steady-state in large-scale networks (> 4000 nodes) using Maxflow-Mincut algorithm. Model relates subgraph density to susceptibility to infection/failure. Thesis work uses dynamical systems theory, stochastic process, graph theory, statistical mechanics, and discrete optimization. Tsinghua University, Beijing, China Visiting Researcher (Electronics Engineering Dept.) March Dec 2009 Researched upper-body human pose detection from still photo using graph-cut skin detection algorithm. Edited conference and journal papers.
