Research Staff Member 
June 1997-July 2001
IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Laboratory
Hawthorne, New York

  • Project leader for Universal Tuner Mobile Video project. - pervasive access to video from any wireless PDA
    • Lead designer of architecture: streaming of video from a server through a video proxy to a PDA client.
      • Video proxy switches channels, injects metadata, and performs streamed transcoding.
      • Application-level protocol to send/receive metadata out-of-band via control channel.
    • Directed the coding efforts of 3 people: 1 summer intern and 2 part-time programmers
    • Contributed socket networking and video code to both the client and proxy
    • Organized group meetings, presented and demonstrated the project within IBM and externally
  • Lead designer for WebSplitter project on multi-device collaborative Web browsing
    • Created WebSplitter's XML architecture enabling the generation of partial views through filtering of XML documents based on user access privileges and device capabilities:
      • Partial views for collaborative multi-user Web browsing scenarios
      • Partial views for pervasive multi-device Web browsing scenarios - Palm acts as remote control directing the distribution of XML-tagged multimedia to nearby devices.
    • WebSplitter provides a demonstration vehicle for IBM Research's Bluetooth efforts.
    • Published @ ACM CSCW 2000 - premier conference for collaborative/conferencing groupware
  • Designer and developer of transcoding technology that led to an IBM product: WebSphere Transcoding Publisher. 
    • My Ph.D. thesis on wireless Web access from PDA's led to an IBM Research transcoding prototype, to which I later also contributed code and further ideas. 
    • Our transcoding prototype helped convince IBM to develop a product: WebSphere Transcoding Publisher, an award-winning revenue-generating  product and key component of IBM's pervasive computing portfolio.
    • Continue to serve as an advisor for next-generation IBM WTP product planning.
