Zhu Wen Wu, Ph.d., is a computer-multimedia and communication experts, based on nearly 20 years of research experience, and everyone to share a system of personal learning experience.
In his eyes, his research is like climbing, successful top-class research, is the direction and perseverance.Author:
Starting from postgraduate stage, I have been in the field of multimedia and communication made nearly 20 years of "research engineer".
I have been doing research is tired of it career, it stems from erects the dream of a scientist. In recent years, due to the need for guidance before and after I had many students doing research, and see them grow in academic and scientific progress is most proud of me. For a student how to start doing research on State-of-the-art, and I am very happy to discuss with friends and share topics.When talking about how State-of-the-art research, I would like to talk about how cognitive themselves and how to play on our own strengths (this is not only on research and practical, on a person's professional growth are useful).
I think that in establishing the research career, or a task before everyone had better to look at ourselves, and meet one's own abilities and interests best cognitive Occidental countries in a process called Identifyyourstrength. By analyzing their own strong where, on which aspects more interested in what ways, ability, and then determine the favorite to play their own advantages of research subjects. I think doing research to actively with their own advantages, and mining their cognitive potentials in order to play in the research advantage.His research is like climbing.
First, you must love yourself are engaged in scientific research work, like climbing athletes must love climbing movement, this is a very important prerequisite. For example, I reallyliked the video communication, although I read in the New York Institute of technology to doctoral mentor during my thesis title is a laser imaging detecting tumors (because this subject have scholarships), can I video communication has keen interest has been using other time engaged in a study of video communication, which is the equivalent of 3 years I had 2 doctoral thesis. In addition, solid and learn some basic disciplines and the mastery of English language skills is also engaged in research work necessary conditions. Determined to do research, the best in mathematics, English, logical thinking ability, lay a solid foundation. From my own personal experience, learn math and English on I really was very beneficial. For example, I'm in Irian North Polytechnic read master, my mentor (Nicklos Galatasnos and AggelosKatasaggelos Professor) is Greece, and hope to use mathematics to prove that we put forward the theory of image restoration. So I spent a few months formula proves our point of view, and then the world's top academic journals published this theory.In the beginning a research before choosing a subject and direction is critical, like climbing athletes to determine the direction and goals of climbing.
A good topic and how the election, the direction of the had a lot of learning. Of course, in the general direction of the master, instructor of macro-pointing your initial research idea of expanding the role of clouds. To cherish each time and senior experts exchange opportunities, listen to the forefront in the field of technical talks, so as to have the opportunity to learn about the best direction in the field of research topics. For example, in 1997 with the development of the Internet, video on the Internet transmission was very important for the direction and research topics. At that time, the video transmission on the Internet are block-based, MPEG4 is scene-based, so I think the MPEG4 in Internet transmission may be groundbreaking. Then I got ya on my ideas, and work on the idea of giving a very positive and further guidance for the direction. I and diligent research results in 2000 IEEETransactions on Circuits and Systems on Video Technology (circuits and systems for video technology journal) published, then this article is 2001IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems on VideoTechnology best paper awards. Take another example, with the development of wireless communication and Internet success, Qin, Zhang Qian and I think that video in the mobile Internet is the development trend of the time, because the wireless channel characteristics and power of great challenges, so we selected wireless Internet video distribution as the main research directions and guide students to expand MPEG4 in wireless Internet research, the results of this essay published in Selected Areas of IEEEJournal on Communications (multimedia communication album) and received the 2004 IEEECommunications Society (multimedia communications Committee) best paper award.In the general direction of clear, when the topic would you like to learn to stand on the shoulders of Giants generation looks to do research.
This point and its importance. In this area, this subject is to what extent, and what methods have emerged, there can be a breakthrough, where there is. Therefore, before you enter a field that you want to do a detailed summary of the research papers, to know this area the most cutting-edge technology, we discuss the most popular topics are, what they do. As the saying goes, MO to not to miss the cut firewood, I generally will guide students spend 1-2 months Tsai to do carefully review again. Otherwise, the blind beganWill result in a period of time to discover this fact and others of similar or someone else has already made some achievements, resulting in a lot of useless duplication.Wait until the review is clearly going after the rays on the review of appropriate collation and col
lation. Through the analysis of the survey and find out what methods to solve problems, we need to study the problem of how to resolve. The predecessors of research methods, and what advantages and disadvantages. When you're on your own research topic and other methods have a broad understanding of time, you will understand that your topic is what distinguishes it from the predecessors of the unique contributions and how to approach. Your unique contribution is. Basically, thinking to this level, you will be able to choose a good topic. Therefore, identifying an and others a different creative subject, a process that requires time, I tend to encourage students to spend 2-3 months time to subject to clear and don't rush into it.Selected research direction and topic, here's how to solve the problem.
Doing research in general there are two ways of thinking to solve the problem: one is the vertical from depth looks, along a direction of fingering, the problem of getting better and better. This kind of thinking is usually a gradual, for example, to find ways to increase the number of A, and then find method B, but also can improve something, and then to method C, continues to be optimized. Most researchers will get used to using this step-by-step approach. This approach lets us every time in the improvement of the process can be improved. Another way of thinking is expanding from breadth looks. In this subject area, and use other disciplines and areas of settlement, the bold innovation often can find a big breakthrough. With other areas of the method to resolve this issue, this is the need for a broad range of knowledge. I know of many outstanding research is in this kind of thinking methods of instruction. This kind of creative work is very useful. I own both in their studies, or in work, are very willing to talk to people in different disciplines to enrich their knowledge and vision. I was working at the Institute it spans two directions, onetransition: when I was first in the Institute in Asia service, under the direction of research work in multimedia communications and later Asia service I Institute reopened a new research group — wireless and Internet Group. Above the 2 kinds of solutions are very important, it will take you to success.Learn how to solve problems and methods, the remaining pieces of the Foundation and perseverance, like good climbing goals and routes, and the rest is unrelenting climb.
The Institute, Harry is often used to drill wells dug water roads encourage our researchers doing research to have persistent spirit: do not not see water easily give up, and then change the places continue to dig, and didn't see the water, then swap places digging, never seen water. Instead, it is necessary to follow a place to cut deep, believe in the direction of do not easily give up, until you dig into the water.In conclusion, do research, like climbing, first of all, to set directions and objectives, selected topic and then stick to the efforts and the climb, so that you will succeed.
As Karl Marx said, no royal road to science, only fatiguing steep mountain climbing of the summits.————————————————————————————————————————————————
