I am a tenure-track associate professor in the John Hopcroft Center for Computer Science (affiliated under the School of Computer Science), Shanghai Jiao Tong University. At SJTU, I am also a member of Emerging Parallel Computing Center (EPCC). Prior to joining SJTU, I worked as a Researcher at Huawei Hong Kong Research Center (2012 Labs) from Aug. 2018 to Dec. 2021. I obtained my PhD degree in Department of Computer Science and Engineering from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, under the supervision of Prof. Bo Li and Prof. Wei Wang. During my PhD studies, I also had a fantastic visiting experience at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Prof. Baochun Li. I obtained my Bachelor degree in 2014 from the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University.
My research aims at optimizing distributed systems supporting modern applications, with a special focus on machine learning applications in topics of Federated Learning, Deep Learning Scheduling and LLM Inference. I am particularly interested in identifying fundamental system challenges in these areas and investigating system solutions that are efficient and easy to use. I am always looking for self-motivated undergraduate, Master and PhD students. Feel free to drop me an email if you are interested.
