My area is in mixed-signal processing, which requires broad knowledge over analog signal conditioning and digital signal processing. I am also interested in circuit fabrication on the impedance controlled PCB to achieve the best performance of analog circuits. Speaking of digital processing, I am focusing on RTL implementation on FPGA system in order to obtain low-latency and concurrent responses, which are not easily expected from ordinary microcontroller or DSP based system.

Back in academic path, I was a postdoctoral researcher with the Computer Science Department, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, working for Prof. Gene H. Golub, investigating real-time algorithms relating to total least squares (TLS). His research interests include numerical methods and optimization for systems and control, data analysis based on TLS or errors-in-variables (EIV) modeling, and applications of equality constrained minimization in adaptive algorithms such as the affine projection algorithm and the normalized LMS filtering.
