About Me
I am a final year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and
Technology at Tsinghua University. Before that, I received my Bachelor’s
degree from Honors College (formerly known as School of Advanced
Engineering), Beihang University.
My advisors are Jiwu Shu and
Youyou Lu. During 2019 - 2020, I worked as a
visiting scholar at ADSL, UW-Madison,
advised by Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau,
Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau, and Xiangyao Yu.
My research area mainly covers distributed systems and storage systems.
I’m particularly interested in building storage systems on emerging
hardware (e.g., Non-Volatile Memory, RDMA). Recently, I am paying close
attention to the “Killer Microseconds” problem. My work has been published
on ASPLOS’20, VLDB’20, Eurosys’19, DAC’19, USENIX ATC’17, ToS, TC, etc.
