Bio

Hi there! I'm a Postdoctoral Researcher cohosted by Prof. Ang Chen at University of Michigan CSE and Prof. Sylvia Ratnasamy at UC Berkeley EECS. I earned my PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from University of Michigan, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Ang Chen. I began my PhD journey at Rice University, where I spent the first three years of my academic career. In a previous life, I got my BS degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT).

I am broadly interested in systems, networking and security, with a particular focus on applying program analysis, formal reasoning, and machine learning techniques to assist the development of cloud automation and datacenter networks. My PhD thesis is on "Assisting Cloud System Development with Automated Insight Generation".

My research 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.

I will be joining the Department of Computer Science, University of Hong Kong (HKU) as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Fall 2025. I'm looking for potential collaborators (e.g., students passionate in system research). If you are interested in doing a PhD/RA with me, please feel free to reach out to me via email and maybe we can figure something out together :)
