About Me

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Harvard University, where I am advised by Minlan Yu and Eddie Kohler. Prior to Harvard, I got my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Peking University.

My research involves designing and building efficient, reliable, and extensible distributed software systems. I am interested in the full software stack, from the operating system to high-level infrastructure that powers emerging AI applications.
