I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the high performance distribute computing (HPDC) group of 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 goal is to provide efficient system/network support for modern workloads like deep learning on emerging platforms that are highly distributed and heterogeneous, achieving various performance goals and energy efficiency.

Prospective students:
I am actively looking for self-motivated students with strong programming skills and great interest in networking and distributed systems to join my research projects. Master or bachelor thesis projects are also available. Please drop me an email if you are interested.

Short Bio

During Jul 2016 - Nov 2018, I worked as an Athene Young Investigator at TU Darmstadt. Before that, I had a brief stay as a postdoctoral 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.
