TableOfContentsAlthough my first name is Jun and the second is Hu, being a Chinese, I can't help being pleased if someone call me hujun /who june/. I am from Jiangsu Province, the southeast of china, where the Yangtze River opens to the sea.
I started my university life as a Math student who was more interested in computer science. Graduated with a bachelor degree in Computational Mathematics, I taught myself programming and worked for an oil exploration company and then a construction machinery company, under qualified titles of Senior Programmer and System Analyst. For 6 years, I was working on digital signal processing algorithms and software packages, management information systems and networks, and computer aid design systems. In 1996, I decided to go back to the university to refactor my knowledge on computer science so that I could "make things better". During the 3-year study, I also worked as a research assistant for professors and a team leader of a group of programmers. Among several other projects, a system for facial reconstruction from a skull and a 3D visualization system for virtual medical operations were my favorite. The final work for the Master's degree, Content-based Retrieval on a Medical Image Database, used images to search similar images in a huge database. The result was promising and it had been used by the doctors in a hospital happily ever after.
However when I finished my computer science study, I found the most important was not just to make things better, but to make people's life easier. So I moved to Holland in 1999, and joined the 2-year postmaster program User-system Interaction here in TU/e. My final project, Distributed Interfaces for a Time-based Media Application, was done at Philips Research. As the best from the USI program that year, this project was nominated for the OCE prize, although it did not make to the top prize at the end. I was so interested in interactive media that I decided to continue the research as a PhD project, focusing on the design of the software architecture for distritributed interactive media, especially for home environments.
I started teaching at ID in 2003. Since then I had been involved in project and competency coaching, and also worked as the 1st year coordinator for the communication unit. I am now a researcher for the designed intelligence group, and a coach for the home domain. I am giving two assignments "Object Oriented Animals" and "Gooey: Soft and Sticky", and running a master's module "Formal Specification".
