Bin then moved on to work for Northern Telecom as a technical advisor, monitoring industry technology trends and coordinating between research teams and production development teams. He was also an adjoint faculty member in the Computer Science Department of the University of Texas at Dallas, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses. Bin is currently working as director and general manager of R&D at TGS-NOPEC.
