Biography

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). I am fortunate to work with Prof. Hui Lu. Before pursuing the Ph.D., I obtained my M.S. and B.E. from State University of New York (SUNY) at Binghamton and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) in 2019 and 2017, respectively. My current research focuses on building efficient and scalable cloud-based networking systems by leveraging techniques in kernel optimization, user space offloading, and hardware acceleration.

I am actively seeking faculty positions and would greatly appreciate any information on potential opportunities. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any leads or suggestions.
