Biography

I’m a PhD candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering(ECE) at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. I’m fortunate to be advised by Prof. Radhika Mittal to work on network system in the Coordinated Science Laboratory. I also work with Prof. Haitham Hassanieh.

Before joining UIUC, I got my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from University of Science and Technology of China(USTC). During my senior year, I spent one semester at Wuklab to work with Prof. Yiying Zhang on low-latency memory swapping system for memory resource disaggregation.
