Yijun Lu’s Experience
-
Asankya Inc.
(Computer Networking industry)
December 2007 — Present (1 year 2 months)
Joined Asankya (http://www.asankya.com/) to develop an advanced media caching scheme to effectively optimize Internet-based live streaming applications. The end result is a sub-packet level caching scheme that achieves great throughput boost for both live streaming and general web traffic.
Based on insight gained from design/implementing the advanced caching scheme, I developed a tool kit for analyzing inherent redundancy in various web traffic. With my tool kit, potential customers can get an accurate estimate of the benefit of Asankya technology within one day, down from three to four weeks. That tool kit has since been widely used company wide as an effective customer acquisition tool.
After these effort, I have come to take full responsibility of the caching module, tailor the product to suit different customers' needs, effectively supporting both real-time streaming applications and traditional corporate file transfer. -
University of Nebraska-Lincoln
(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)
August 2002 — August 2007 (5 years 1 month)
My Ph.D. research strives to improve data consistency management and overlay multicast in Internet-scale distributed systems. The targeted applications are distributed collaboration systems and Internet-based multimedia.
I have designed and implemented three systems—IDF, CVRetrieval, and FairOM. IDF is an adaptive consistency control framework that scales a wide range of distributed collaboration applications to the Internet-scale, while CVRetrieval exploits usage patterns to further improves the scalability of consistency control. FairOM is an overlay multicast protocol that supports fair and high performance data delivery. Targeted applications include Internet live multimedia streaming and massive scientific data delivery.
In this period, I have published nine papers, received one best student paper award. For details of the research projects, to check out my publications, and to download my dissertation, please go to:

August 2002 — May 2006 (3 years 10 months)
Assisted course instructors to prepare course material, teach lab sessions, interact with students about course work, grade homework and exams.
Courses assisted include various aspects of Computer Science curriculum, including programming languages (C, Java, Fortan, Matlab), data structure and algorithms, and data encryption. -
Huazhong University of Science and Technology
(Educational Institution; Higher Education industry)
September 1999 — August 2002 (3 years)
My research in this period focused on enabling versatile, high performance, and highly reliable web cluster systems. The research result is a content-based (through deep packet inspection) scheduling mechanism in Linux Kernel that enhances the Linux cluster's ability to support dynamic web contents as well as static ones without sacrificing performance.
I worked at a University startup to develop a product based on my research. This work expanded the company’s reach from supporting static contents to more profitable dynamic ones.
I have also worked on a project to provide TCP connection backup service between the primary front end and the backup one of a Linux cluster. This fault tolerance module supports uninterrupted file downloading (such as FTP) and live multimedia streaming in the face of the primary front end failure.
During that period of time, I have published one paper and filed two patent applications.
