I am an Assistant Professor in School of Data Science, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. Prior to that, I received my PhD degree in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Wei Wang. I obtained my B.Eng. degree in Software Engineering from Nanjing University.
My research interests cover the broad area of cloud computing and distributed systems, with a special focus on serverless computing, big data and machine learning systems. I am particularly interested in identifying fundamental system challenges in these areas and investigating system solutions that are efficient and easy to use. Some of our recent research projects include:
- Scalable ML/LLM serving: CaraServe, FaaSwap, Gillis (ICDCS’21), MArk (ATC’19)
- Usable, efficient serverless computing : Pheromone (NSDI’23)
- Big data analytics and caching: CrystalPerf (ATC’21), RepBun (INFOCOM’20)
I am looking for self-motivated graduate students (PhD/MPhil starting 2025) and research assistants (RAs) to work on the areas of distributed ML and big data systems, next-generation serverless computing platforms, and large-scale cluster management systems. If you are interested in working with me, please feel free to drop me an email along with your CV and transcripts.
