Before Dr.

I graduated as a PhD from Simon Fraser University. My research interests included multimedia networks, social networks and overlay networks. I am currently a research engineer at BroadbandTV.

Some Academic Notes:

• I am NOT a faculty and do NOT recruit graduate student, so please DO NOT send me your resume/CV.
• I do NOT want to receive any CFP, so please DO NOT add me to any maillist.
• YouTube measurement dataset can be downloaded from HERE.
• Source codes used in the pages are NOT allowed to be distributed.
• I will be available for academic paper review in very specific topic.
• My SFU email xuc A cs D sfu D ca has expired. Please leave a comment at this page if you want to get in touch with me.
