About Me

I am a 4th-year PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering, University of Michigan, advised by Prof. Mosharaf Chowdhury. I am also closely working with Prof. Harsha V. Madhyastha.

My research interests are at the intersection of networked systems and machine learning in the context of large-scale data-intensive computing, including designing distributed big data systems and optimizing systems with learning techniques.

Prior to Umich, I got my B.S. degree in Computer Science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2017.
