I’m a Pre-Doctoral M.S. student in Computer Science at the University of Chicago, advised by Prof. Haryadi S. Gunawi. I’m also working on my latest research project with Prof. Juncheng Yang from Harvard University.

Previously, I was honored to work as a research intern at Microsoft Research Asia under the fantastic mentorship of Lei Qu, and be advised by Prof. Yeh-Ching Chung as a student research assistant at Alibaba Group and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen.

My research focuses on Operating Systems, Storage Systems, Distributed Systems and their intersections with ML. I enjoy building more performant systems in the context of:

1. High Efficiency (e.g. prefetch and cache eviction co-design for higher cache efficiency)
2. Low Latency (e.g. mitigating tail latencies in cloud storage systems)
3. Workload Awared (e.g. workload characterization and prediction for distributed machine learning clusters)

I am an avid fan of Astronomy. The beauty of the starry night sky amazes me a lot. I joint astronomy club during my middle school, high school, and college years, and won the gold medal in the China National Astronomy Olympiad (CNAO '18).

I adopted a very cuuuute cat! His name is Mabu.
