Project & Research Experience

Distributed Architecture for Mitigating DDOS Attacks 11/2006 – 03/2007
In this project, we take a clean-slate approach and argue for a separate security plane to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks. The decision logic of security mechanisms is distributed in a small set of active security guards called sentinels that collaborate (proactively and reactively) to mitigate attacks.
SecDB Decommissioning 04/2005 – 06/2005
To replace SecDB (a financial database system) with new system smoothly, existing 700 applications that use SecDB must be redirected to use new database through API layer we developed.
Role: Requirement analysis; Performing detailed design; Coding & Unit/assembly Testing; Software Configuration Management.
Develop COM wrapper for G API 07/2004 – 04/2005
To let existing VBA applications that make direct calls to database to instead communicate with G services (financial service APIs), a COM layer is developed.
Role: Finding solution for implementing overloading and multiple inheritances in COM; Coding; Developing test drivers; Software Configuration Management.
Geophysics 2D Data Processing Software 05/2003 - 06/2004
A research project funded by Jilin University. Through combining the knowledge of geophysics with computer scientific visualization and software engineering techniques, conduct research on how to develop the data processing software which utilizes a new data processing technique, Depth Curves Method, in applied geophysics.
Role: In charge of the entire project.
