What's on going

I am now working on my diploma thesis. The topic is "A Research of Multi-resolution Coding of information and Relevant Transmission Protocols", including multi-resolution coding of images. Wavelet coding of audio signals (improved EZW algorithm), and an integrated demo system.

Special interest

More than enjoying the coding game, another fascinating point I found in speech or image processing is the combination of signal theory with neuropsycology and cognitive science. It was discovered as I was studying the auditory model. When a series of complex physiological functions are modeled and mathematically abstracted ,we found out that the cochlea is actually a living wavelet filter, while lumps of cells working infatiguedly for the Fourier Transform--the way the hearing cortex to grasp a sound Some interesting things can be also found in our visual system The contour and texture based image coding is one of the inspirations given by our own eyes, and is just one of the numerous that waiting for us to discover When we are puzzled by piles of questions such as sound and vision, perception and cognition, why don't we go to the Creator and ask how he has handled them?

What to pursue?

Concluded form above, my research experiences concentrate on speech and image processing, with an emphasis on coding schemes and a special interest on the application of knowledge in biological and cognitive science. What I am going to do is to develop my interest on speech or image processing, preferably with an interdisciplinary approach. Because of the rapid advances and the active environment of such a field in the United States. I am sure that an institution with a world reputation on electrical engineering like yours is my first choice. However ,due to my broad interest in electronics and other branches of learning, there is always no limitations on specific programs.

Still further

Upon receiving a doctoral degree in the States, I will go back to my mother country, not only for the beloved land and people, but also for the temptation of eastern philosophy. The idea hit upon me when I caught sight of the graphic of wavelet decomposition that is surprisingly similar to the ancient Taoist interpretation of the generation of universe . It has been widely accepted that eastern thought would play an important role in future science and I believe the instillation of modern western ideas could accelerate the process. As the descendant of the Orient. I am willing to make some useful attempts.
