How did you find out about Waseda University? <\/strong><\/h3>\n
Waseda University is a very famous university in China and I heard about Waseda University when I was very young.\u00a0 Besides, Shanghai Jiao Tong University also has a good relationship with Waseda University and provides some joint programs for students.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why did you choose Waseda University?<\/h3>\n
Actually before the doctor program, I have joined the Waseda-Shanghai Jiao Tong University double master degree program and spent two years in Graduate School of Information, Production and System (IPS), Waseda University in Kitakyushu.\u00a0 My two-year stay in IPS has confirmed my knowledge of the flexible academic environment and intellectual community at Waseda University, of which I hope to get into higher education and make more contributions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How did you get information for our program?<\/h3>\n
My professor recommended me for doctor program.\u00a0 I searched for the Waseda official website and found the Japanese program.\u00a0 Since my Japanese is not good, I am curious about the Japanese language requirement for doctor student.\u00a0 Then I sent an email to administration office. They recommended this program to me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Did you have any concerns before coming to Japan?

<\/a><\/h3>\nMy main concern is about Japanese.\u00a0 But after arrival, I find Waseda University is an international university and offers great help for foreign students.\u00a0 Besides I met many Japanese and talked with them to improve my Japanese level.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Have you had any difficulties when you started a new life here?<\/h3>\n
I think everyone needs some time to get used to the new environment.\u00a0 Although I have spent two years in Kitakyushu, there is a big difference between Kitakyushu and Tokyo.\u00a0 Taking the transportation as example, Tokyo has many subway lines, JR lines, Seibu lines, Keio lines and so on.\u00a0 Kitakyushu only has the bus and JR lines.\u00a0 When I just arrived in Tokyo, I found a little difficult to transfer from one line to another line and get out from the right exit.\u00a0 I have got lost in Shinjuku Station twice because Shinjuku Station is too big.\u00a0 Japanese is also a big problem for me.\u00a0 But I think I can overcome these difficulties.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How is your life in Japan and Waseda?<\/h3>\n

<\/a>Everything goes well.\u00a0 Japan is very beautiful.\u00a0 In April, I went to Meguro with friends to see “sakura” (cherry blossoms).\u00a0 Besides, living in Tokyo is very convenient.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What do you do in your free time?<\/h3>\n
On weekend, I would like to cook by myself.\u00a0 In the holiday, I would like to travel around Japan.\u00a0 I like traveling around.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How are the relationships with your supervisor and lab members?<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nMy supervisor is very nice professor.\u00a0 He has been dedicated into the multimedia communication technologies and novel signal processing in video and audio for many years and has published about 30 journals and over 100 conference papers on these research topics.\u00a0 He gives me flexibility and valuable guide for my research.\u00a0 Lab members are also friendly.\u00a0 In the first week, we had a welcome party and went to eat the pot (motsu-nabe).\u00a0 Especially, our lab has another Chinese doctor student.\u00a0 She is very nice and gives me many tips about living here.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Outline of the research<\/h3>\n
My research works focus on the video coding and video service quality.\u00a0 In detail, it includes three aspects, as follows.<\/p>\n
Firstly, High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest video compression standard.\u00a0 I investigate the inter prediction in HEVC and propose a low-complexity inter prediction mode decision method to reduce the encoding time more than 50%.<\/p>\n
Secondly, video application has faced to a situation where the end-user expects high quality of experience (QoE) available.\u00a0 I propose a QoE in wireless networks to measure the quality of video services and present a QoE-driven HEVC encoder adaptation scheme to improve the user\u2019s satisfaction by around 30%.<\/p>\n
Current my research plan is deep-learning based subjective video quality assessment and I am studying the algorithm of deep convolution neural network.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What is your career goal after your degree completion?<\/h3>\n
After the program, I would like to be a researcher in Japanese universities or in companies for a few years, since I am eager to make my contributions to the research works.\u00a0 Besides, I like Japan very much, because the environment is clear and the life is convenient.\u00a0 I will study Japanese hard and would like to make more Japanese friends in daily life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Short message to the prospective students<\/h3>\n
in English<\/h4>\n
I think the most attractive thing is that Waseda University offers international and flexible academic environment to students.\u00a0 Students can search for the solution freedomly, utilize the rich resources and ask others for help.<\/p>\n
You will fall in love with Tokyo when you start living here.\u00a0 Even though sometimes you might get caught in some difficulties, you will spend unforgettable time in Waseda University and grow up to be a more strong person.\u00a0 A time will come to ride the wind and cleave the waves, you will set my cloudlike sail to cross the sea which raves.<\/p>\n
