I am a Full Professor, leading the Computer Networks group at the Department of Computer Science at Paderborn University, Germany. Before that, I was a tenured Assistant Professor in the Computer Systems Group at the Department of Computer Science at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands from 2018 to 2023. I received my PhD in Computer Science from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2015. I have held (visiting) positions at IMDEA Networks Institute in Spain, SnT in Luxembourg, and TU Darmstadt in Germany.

I research networked systems. I am interested in creating concepts and techniques that make networked systems more efficient, scalable, and sustainable—by developing better programming tools and middleware.

I am the recipient of a Google Research Scholar Award (2022), an Outstanding Paper Award at RTSS 2022, Best Paper Awards at IPCCC 2023 and ISCC 2024, and an Athene Young Investigator Award of TU Darmstadt (2018). I am a Senior Member of IEEE.
