About Me

I am a final-year Ph.D. student at the CS department of Rice University working with Prof. Ang Chen. Prior to this, I obtained my BS degree from School of Software, Shandong University.

My research is in the general area of systems, networking, and security. My work co-designs the infrastructure hardware and software stacks to achieve high performance, reliability, and security. My recent interests also extend to machine learning systems, disaggregated systems, and 5G security.

I am a recipient of Google Ph.D. Fellowship (2022) and a finalist for Meta Ph.D. Research Fellowship (2022).

I am on the job market in pursuit of faculty positions. If you are aware of any potential opportunities, I kindly invite you to get in touch.
