1979 - Graduate from high school in Hanoi, Vietnam.
1986 - Graduated from Moscow Power Engineering Institute (in Russia) with MS degree in Electronic Engineering.
My major is Lighting technique.
1992 - Finished graduate program at Moscow Power Engineering Institute with Ph.D degree in Electronic Engineering.
Recent research projects from October 2001:
1. - Psychophysical evaluation of different compression codes on medical images.
2. - Evaluate different model observers by comparing their performance with human performance in the same visual tasks.
3. - Perceptual learning in localization and identification tasks.
4. - Evaluate human ability to detect a signal in structure background.

I have two boys. The first one was born in 1993 and the second one was born in 1995. They enjoy Santa Barbara very much.
I love to travel and spend time with my family.
