I was a graduate student in Computer Science, and I just received my Master's degree in December 2005. My research interests include computer graphics ,image processing, database systems and Web services.

Currently I am working with Dr. Hamid R. Arabnia on my master research project of 3D information retrieval and evaluation from a pair of images taken from different distances. Meanwhile, I'm also working with Dr. John A. Miller and Dr. Jessica Kissinger on ApiDB project as my RA job (research assistant), in which we'll build a federated system through Web serivces to integrate genome databases. As part of my RA job, I'm actively involved in WDK project development with UPenn guys, which provides a uniform web interface to access genome databases using java server side technologies.

I am an experienced programmer, with more than five years' professional working experiences on software engineering. I'm excellent at Java, VB, C#, and familiar with C, C++, but languages are not my only skills; I have comprehensive knowledge on OS and DBMS administration, as well as software architecture designing; what's more important, with experiences from work and knowledge from professional training, I'm pretty good at project management, which I think is the core of the success of software development.

Making programs is such a magical thing to me. I like the feelings of beautiful code flowing out through my fingers, and I like to see the programs bringing my dream come true. I am writing programs with great fun and passion :)

I have an excellent wife, Yan Zeng, and we love each other very much. She just graduated from University of Southern California (USC), majoring Communication Management.

She is good at cooking, and she is the most precious treasure in my life. I always recall the time when we lived together in Shanghai, the most wonderful thing was to go to the nearby park with her, enjoying the sunshine , and doing some readings there.

My parents live in Kunming now, and it is my hometown. It is a beautiful place located in the southwest of China, which is also called "Spring City" because of its bracing climate.

My brother , Wei Gao, is also a good programmer, and he is now working very hard to carry out his dream, an entrepreneur in the mobile application market. Good luck brother!
