Hello there, Iām Ben Cheng!š
šØāš Iām a third year undergraduate student at the University of Toronto and am currently interning in Ericsson developing 5G ML application.
š My research interests are in Machine Learning, High Performance Computing and Infrastructure Design. š¤ Iām currently working as a research assistant at the Vector Institute / UHN and participating in a medical time-series machine learning project supervised by Professor Michael Brudno and Professor Rahul Krishnan. Iāve also participated in Energy System + Graph Theory research with Professor Yize Chen and crafted a publication studying Alberta Power Distribution.
Personal Experience
Ericsson 5G ML Development
āImplemented Deep Q-Network (DQN) to 5G SRS Scheduling and RL Algorithm to 5G Antenna Calibration, catering to network providers including Bell and CMCC
āCollaborated on the implementation of Embedded Real-time Communication C++ Application, establishing synchronization between Inference Model, RL Training Server and InfluxDB Time-Series Database
āParticipated in the research, implementation and Field Test Time-Series analysis of AiXellerator application, leading to 20% boost in real-time downlink throughput and 10% boost in spectral efficiency
Energy System + Graph Theory Research
āInvestigated and implemented a carbon emission tracing algorithm on Albertaās electricity network, aiming to visualize and analyze provincial-level or national-level carbon emission distribution
āUtilized the Power Dispatch Model with BFS and LP algorithms to formulate, derive, and evaluate the contribution of individual generators and visualize the power distribution and consumption distribution
āSupervised by Professor Yize Chen at the University of Alberta
Time-Series Machine Learning Research
āInvestigated the influence of Recurrent and Feedforward Neural Networks in predicting Tacrolimus Dose Requirement for liver-transplant patients, aiming to optimize the clinical medicine dose selection
