My current research
interests include text mining, document engineering, data modeling and its
applications, optimization algorithms. My previous interests included
large-scale network dynamics, cloud computing and search over encryption, network
security, wireless networks, and computational complexity theory. I am
particularly interested in algorithmic problems and mathematical modeling
arising from practical applications, including data analysis and applications,
intelligent text automation, wireless sensor networks, computational medicine,
networking, and online social networks. I studied computational complexity
theory from late 1980's to early 2000's, including structural complexity,
average-case complexity, and average NP-completeness.
The Path to Greatness -- by Bill Hybels
In each heart is a built-in mechanism that craves self-promotion and
advancement, the climb of ego. Our role models and heroes reinforce the theme:
Ascend and flex the muscles of your self-will. Do whatever it takes to conquer
gravity. Whether you do it blatantly or wear the disguise of humility, make
yourself upwardly mobile. Why? Because that is the direction of greatness.
Philippians 2 said: If you want to be truly great, then the direction
you must go is down. You must descend into greatness. At the heart of this
paradox is still another paradox: Greatness is not a measure of self-will, but
rather self-abandonment. The more you lose, the more you gain.
