I am a forth year Ph.D student in the Computer Science at Fudan University. I work in the System Research Group of Parallel Processing Institute, adviced by Prof. Binyu Zang and Haibo Chen. My research interests are operating system and system virtualization. I intend to graduate at the summer of 2014.
