Analyzed the HCUP dataset, which contains 27 million of records of patient emergency room and hospital discharges. Our goal is to mine knowledge from the dataset and build an accurate classifier to predict if an emergency visit will result in a rehospitalization within 7,14 and 30 days. Achievement: We can achieve 82% AUC and still in the progress of improving it..
Developed cough detection system to classify a sound is a cough sound or not. Our goal is to count how many cough sounds from hundred of hours sound collected from the hospital. Achievement: We developed a logistic regression model to classify cough with > 96% AUC
Analysed research data, explored programming technologies and techniques to develop academic and small industrial applications such as intelligent digital magazines, smart restaurant finder, etc
Designed lectures, homework at graduate level and guided other graduate students.
Core Web developer: Collected requirements, developed modules and web applications, analyzed and solved critical problems for a variety of projects.
Pioneer developer for new projects and built up the team. Improved client satisfaction, including many big clients such as OReilly, Warner Bros, Oxford University Press and others.
I study hard and play hard.
I love music. I have some trainings on music so I can sing and play music instruments. I know how to play piano and guitar and used to be an amateur music composer. Currently I'm only playing piano occasionally. Will play guitar again when I have time.
I love sports: I can play soccer and table tennis quite well. Swimming, badminton: Amateur level. Other sports: casual
I love computer games. I used to play lots of popular PC games and attended some competitions. Now without much time, I only play StarCraft 2 very occasionally. However, I'm one the best players of the map "Oh No It's Zombies" with the legendary name "dathong" or "dracon" (You will probably hear about me if you play this map ;))
I love reading: variety of topics: comic books, folktales, novels, history, philosophy, psychology, science, etc. including textbooks ;) I love books and read whenever I find new interesting ones.
I love to hangout with people too. However as an INTJ person, although I can attend a crowded party but I prefer talking in small groups or individually so we know each other better. We can have a cup of coffee or go to a restaurant if you would like to chat :)
