`STUDENTS
`
`A. Undergraduate Students
`
`Many students have worked in my research group since 1987. They have been involved
`in design, analysis and implementation of algorithms for Embedded Systems and
`Wireless Health. They have been supported e.g., by REU grants from NSF (i.e., Research
`Experience for Undergraduates by the National Science Foundation), Motorola and other
`companies.
`
`B. Master Students
`
`At Northwestern University and UCLA there have been more than 100 students who
`have received their M.S. degree under my supervision. They are either working toward
`their Ph.D. degree or are working in industry.

`
`TEACHING
`
` I
`
` take teaching very seriously. I devoted a major portion of my time working with my
`undergraduate and graduate students, as evident from the large number of publications
`produced with my students. In 2006 I completely redesigned CS 152 A/B: two major
`design courses in the departments. I have updated these courses every year ever since. I
`have also included undergrad students in my research group. I teach two core
`undergraduate courses; Algorithms and Complexity (CS 180) and a series of graduate
`courses in the area of embedded systems and Wireless Health. My teaching evaluation
`average since I have joined UCLA is 8.21 compared with departmental average of 7.56
`(At Northwestern, my teaching evaluations have averaged (around) 3.7 (on scale of 1 to
`4).
`
`CS 152A lab involves of implementing digital logic designs and applying concepts
`students learned in CS 51A. The specific objectives of the course is to instruct students
`learning how to use discrete components, breadboards, oscilloscopes, voltmeters, data
`sheets, and instruction manuals under digital laboratory environment. Students are expect
`to be able to collaboratively design digital systems with their partners and implement
`their designs with a schematic editor, VHDL, and FPGA.
`
`CS152B covers advanced digital design techniques using Xilinx FPGA platforms.
`Students develop structural and behavior RTL code, perform simulations, and synthesize
`their designs onto FPGAs for evaluation. Four progressively challenging laboratory
`assignments cover fundamental hardware concepts such as finite state machines, register
`files, ALUs, and video standards. The course also emphasizes collaborative group work,
`testbench development, and technical documentation. The course was significantly
`revised again in 2013. The previous Xilinx XUPV2P boards were upgraded to Virtex5-
`based development platforms, which support many more peripherals. This allows new
`labs/projects to emphasize a greater range of embedded systems applications, rather than
`focusing on a camera-based project.
`
`Sample CS152 B Final Projects:
`
`13
`
`1. An autonomous robot capable of navigating on a path set by a colored line using image
`processing.
`
`2. An FPGA-based atari emulator with DVI output, an analog joystick, and buttons.
`
`3. An iRobot-based robot that is capable of reacting to external sound, and moves towards the
`source.
`
`4. Accelerometer-based implementation of a Wii remote using a VmodCAM camera.
`
` also teach courses in Design and Analysis of Algorithm and graduate courses in
`Wireless Health.

`funding of $380,000). A number of undergraduates from across the country have been
`trained through our program at UCLA.
