About Me
I am currently working at Huawei. I obtained my doctor's degree in the Software Engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University, adviced by Prof. Haibo Chen. Then I worked as a Post Doc at Fundamental Software Innovation Lab, Huawei. My research interest lies on the intersection of operating system, programming language and AI.
Projects
I mainly worked on concurrent file system verification during my Ph.D.
My first project AtomFS, aims to build a verified concurrent file system with fine-grained locking.
Then I build the RefFS file system, which is the first verified concurrent file system with both safety and liveness guarantees.
I spent two Post Doc years at Fundamental Software Innovation Lab, Huawei, where I worked on automated verification of concurrent software and combining formal methods with AI.
