About Me
I am a professor in School of Software at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and a member of Institute of Parallel And Distributed Systems (IPADS) since February 2012. I received a Ph.D degree (2011) from the Fudan University, under the guidance of Prof. Binyu Zang. My research interests include parallel and distributed systems, operating systems, and hardware-software co-design, with a current focus on building high-performance, scalable, and working systems. My work has been recognized by best paper awards at EuroSys (2015) and ICPP (2007), the Young Scholar of Chang Jiang Scholars Program (2020), and a distinguished member of the China Computer Federation (CCF).
I am currently looking for self-motivated students with good background on systems related area. Drop me an E-mail if you have interests to work with me.
