I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the high performance distribute computing (HPDC) group of the Computer Systems section at 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 networked systems and specific research topics include edge computing, video analytics, DNN inference, and in-network computing.

Openings Two PhD positions (on edge computing) are open. Postdoc applications with Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowships are also welcome. Please reach out 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 Ph.D. 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.
