    • 👨‍🎓 About Me

    I am currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), affiliated with the Applied Distributed Systems Lab (ADSLab) and supervised by Prof. Patrick P. C. Lee since July 2026. Previously, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer System Architecture from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China, in June 2026. My PhD research was supervised by Prof. Yuchong Hu, and I was a member of the Data Storage and Applications Laboratory (DSAL) led by Prof. Dan Feng. I received my M.S. degree from Sichuan University (SCU) in June 2022 under the supervision of Prof. Min Zhu.

    To date, I have contributed to over 14 research papers, 8 of which are published as my first or corresponding author, including ICDE2026, DAC2026, HPDC2025, HPDC2024, EuroPar2025, ACM TACO, CAD&CG, and ICV.
