I’m a Ph.D. student in AISys Lab at UIUC, advised by Prof. Fan Lai. I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science at Tsinghua University. I worked with Prof. Arvind Krishnamurthy and Prof. Ratul Majahan at University of Washington during my junior year. I also worked with Prof. Marco Canini at KAUST during my senior year.

My research interests lie in building system support for machine learning applications.
