• I am a PhD candidate at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I received my BS and MS degrees from the department of Computer Science and Information Engineering of the National Taiwan University in 2006 and 2008, respectively. My research interests are mainly on embedded systems and real-time systems. I am working on reduced complexity architecture patterns for medical systems.
• I have developed coordination and validation protocols with low complexity, in terms of model checking state space, to guarantee safety properties are satisfied. The ultimate goal of my research if to develop safe and reliable Cyber-Physical System (CPS) architecture over potentially unreliable environment, such as wireless network, with the consideration of human in the loop control.
• I am currently developing resuscitation support system with integrated workflow, data to decision pipeline, and Medical Device Plug and Play (MDPnP). The system will provide a real-time integrated workflow-driven display, facilitating action coordination, timely diagnosis and observation of patient response to the treatments. This will ultimately guide team towards optimal performance while reducing preventable medical errors in ICU.

Followings are the research topics I am working on:

• Complexity reduced architecture patterns for cyber physical systems
• Consistent coordination with human in the loop control
• Model-based engineering for pattern composition

• Projects
  • Resuscitation assistant system – The project is a close collaboration with Carle Foundation Hospital and focuses on designing a resuscitation support system with integrated workflow, data to decision pipeline, and Medical Device Plug and Play (MDPnP). The main goal is to provide shared and role-based situation awareness in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to improve the efficiency and safety despite high uncertainty of diagnosis & treatments and difficulties of synchronizing individuals’ actions to workflow.
