Hi! I am a final-year PhD candidate at Computer Science Department, Columbia University, supervised by Prof. Asaf Cidon. My research interest is storage and ML systems. Before joining Columbia, I spent four wonderful years in the Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I was advised by Prof. Haibo Chen. I was a research intern at Microsoft Research Asia, Alibaba, and Google.

I will join AI and Systems Research@Google in Fall 2025.
