The course was taken in Fall, 2004. My final project is “Computer Simulation of Film Growth in 2 Dimensional Space”.

Since I was in Peking University, I was interested in the simulation on thin film growth and had been reading this for about one semester. So I know some important papers in this field. It helped me. The simulation method is basically a simple KMC (Kinetic Monto Carlo). The code was written in Java so you can run it even in a browser.

You can view the simulation in a java-enabled browser. If you want to know more, you can download the paper: Computer Simulation of Film Growth in 2 Dimensional Space, the code: The source code.

The course was taken in Fall, 2004, taught by Rob de Ruyter van Steveninck. The final project is to read the textbook for one chapter and write a paper for it. I chose “Chapter 12: Nerve Impulses”.

In the paper, I worte both on experimental result and theoretical result for Nerve impulses. You can download the paper: My final paper on Ch12: Nerve Impulses.

The course was taken in Spring, 2005. My final project is “Using Artificial Neural Networks to compute the switch time between two different Poissons”. The paper I worte contains two parts:

• Brief Introduction to Artificial Neural networks, including a small tutorial in using ANN in matlab.
• The model to solve the switch time between two different Poissons.

The supplement paper includes the analytical result on the prediction limit for the switch time.

• The paper: “Using Artificial Neural Networks to compute the switch time between two different Poissons”
• supplement paper
• Archives (contains both codes and papers)
