Bio

Hi there! I'm a final year Ph.D. student at the CSE division of University of Michigan working with Prof. Ang Chen. I spent the first three years of my PhD career at Rice University. In a previous life, I got my BS degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT). I am broadly interested in systems, networking, security, program analysis and formal verification, with a particular focus on programmable networks and cloud automation.

My PhD journey so far has been full of surprises. It is nothing less than a life changing experience for me. Please feel free to contact me if you are intersted in my research or my story, I would love to chat more with you. You can find my [Resume] here.
