I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Computer Systems section of the Department of Computer Science at VU Amsterdam, The Netherlands. I am also an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Computer Science at TU Darmstadt, Germany. I am generally interested in distributed systems and networking, where my current research is focused on programmong models and resource management solutions for inference serving, in-network computing, and edge computing.

Short Bio

During Jul 2016 - Nov 2018, I worked as an Athene Young Investigator at TU Darmstadt, Germany. Before that, I had a brief stay as a research associate at SnT Luxembourg. I obtained my PhD in computer science with distinction from the Institute of Computing Technology (ICT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). During Sep 2012 - Jan 2014, I was a visiting researcher at IMDEA Networks Institute, Spain.
