About Me

I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in Computer Science at University of Michigan (Umich). Before I transferred to Umich, I also studied in Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) and was majoring in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

My research interest mainly lies in computer systems and architecture. Currently I am interested in compiler and CPU optimizations in large cloud computing systems. I want to contribute to more efficient data center applications.

I am applying for PhD programs, and I expect to graduate in Summer 2022. Please reach out to me if your are looking for PhD students.
