EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

  • Vice Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow (July 2012 - Present)

Institute: School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong, Australia

Duty: Chief Investigator of the project "A Multi-Agent Solution for Smart Grid System Modelling, Simulation, and Management by Considering Distributed and Renewable Energy Resources and Local Power Storages". The objective of this project is to propose a multi-agent solution to model, simulate and manage a Smart Grid (SG) system under different circumstances in automatic and efficient ways.

 

  • ARC Linkage Project Research Fellow (July 2010 - June 2012)

Institute: School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong, Australia

Duty: Chief researcher on an ARC Linkage project "Emergency Control of Catastrophic Disturbances in a Power System". Controlling power system is a crucial topic for both research purpose and national benefit. In this project, we will analyze reasons for disturbances in power systems, and propose multiple agent systems to monitor and control the power systems for daily operations as well as counter-strategies for restoring the power systems from disturbances in limited time period.

 

  • Research Assistant (January 2010 - June 2010)

Institute: School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong, Australia

Duty: Chief researcher for the project Data Analysis and Mining in the Presence of Noise. Mining raw and/or noisy data is an important issue for many areas including knowledge science, economic analysis and antiterrorist. In this project, we investigated existing data mining approaches and tools for analysing raw and/or noisy data without pre-proceedings, and extended the existing approaches and tools according to our specifications.

 

  • Casual Lecturer (September 2009 - December 2009)

Institute: School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong, Australia

Duty: I was employed as a casual lecturer to teach the subject CSCI424/924 Reasoning and Learning. This subject introduces students to the concepts of agents and heuristics used in intelligent reasoning and learning systems. As a lecturer, I need to develop teaching materials by myself, deliverer lectures/tutorials to students, manage WebCT (online subject system), and mark assignments and exam papers.

 

  • Research Assistant (January 2009 - December 2009)

Institute: School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong, Australia

Duty: I am the main researcher for the project Agent-Based Simulation and Pattern Analysis from Transactional Data. Pattern discovery and analysis from transactional data is an important issue for many areas including law enforcement, economic analysis and antiterrorist. In this project, we use artificial intelligent (AI) techniques to simulate and analyse social transactional data, and discover hidden patterns to facilitate users making decisions. Multiple AI techniques and decision supporting techniques, including Data Mining, Social Network Analysis and Agent Simulation, are adopted in this project.

 

  • Tutor (July 2004 -December 2008)

Institute: School of Computer Science and Software Engineering, University of Wollongong, Australia

Duty: From 2004 to 2008, I had been employed as a tutor by Faculty of Informatics, University of Wollongong for the following subjects: CSCI103 Algorithm and Problem Solving, CSCI114 Procedural Programming, ITCS213 Java Programming and the Internet, CSCI205 Software Development Methods and Tools, CSCI410 Software Engineering Formal Methods, CSCI240 Multimedia Programming Foundation and ITCS938 E-Business Technologies. My duties included assisting lecturers to manage WebCT, composing lab tasks, marking assignments and exam papers, and delivering tutorials to students.
