I am a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My advisor at UIUC is Prof. Indranil Gupta. My research interests lie in the broad area of distributed systems, database systems and storage systems. You can find my CV here.

Before that, I was an undergraduate research assistant at Southern University of Science and Technology advised by Prof.Bo Tang. I also used to be a research intern at UCI supervised by Prof.Michael Carey.

I have experience in the following topics:

• Recent Research (Ph.D. & Industry)
  • Distributed Embedded Key-Value Store Design
  • Write Operation Pushdown for Disaggregated Databases
  • Building Externally-Synchronous Replicated Filesystems
• Undergraduate Research
  • GPU Acceleration for Apache Hive
  • Performance study for Apache AsterixDB
  • Outlier Detection in edge computing enviroment
  • Large-scale Entity Blocking

My ultimate career goal is to design future-oriented systems and algorithms that will change people’s lives.
