  Daqing Piao received his B.S. in Physics from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China in 1990, M.S. in Biomedical Engineering in 2001, and Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering in 2003, both from University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. Before he pursued graduate study, he had been employed as an MRI engineer from 1990 to 1994 at Guangdong Weida Medical Apparatus Corporation (Guangdong, China), and as an R&D engineer/ program manager from 1994 to 1999 at Shanghai Kanglian Medical Engineering Co. Ltd (Shanghai, China). fter his Ph.D., he received post-doctoral training at University of Connecticut from 2003 to 2004, and worked as Research Associate at Dartmouth College from 2004 to 2005. Daqing Piao is the recipient of the Guanghua Prize from Tsinghua Univeristy in 1989, Outstanding Engineer from Guangdong Weida Corp in 1993,  Pre-doctoral Traineeship Award from Department of Defense in 2002, and the Best PhD Thesis Award of UCONN Engineering School in 2003. His research area is in biomedical optical imaging, with specilization on endoscopic optical tomography for accurate selective biopy of cancer.
 
   
 

Sohum Sohoni’s research interests are broadly in the area of computer architecture and performance analysis. His primary field of research is the cache memory performance of memory-intensive applications. Besides mainstream cache memory systems, his research spans distributed systems, multimedia applications and low power architectures for general-purpose and embedded systems. He is highly interested in the development of graphical visualization tools for classroom and laboratory instruction, and believes that classroom instruction needs to incorporate the presentation techniques of today, as well as new teaching methodologies such as case studies and team learning.
