Research Experience
I joined IPADS as an undergraduate research assistant in my junior year, working on improving the resource utilization of distributed in-memory KV stores. During my Ph.D. study at IPADS, I mainly focused on the file system (architecture) design and implementation on emerging non-volatile memory. Currently, I have joined IPADS as an assistant professor and keep working on file system designs on emerging storage technologies. Moreover, I am looking to develop and realize next-generation storage technologies, namely DNA storage.
In IPADS, I lead the IPADS Non-volatile Systems Group, aiming to improve storage systems with emerging and future storage technologies. Our group now consists of two Ph.D. students, three master's students and one undergraduate.
Wanna join us?
IPADS and I keep looking for self-motivated students who want to pursue a Ph.D. or master's degree. If you are interested in systems and storage research, feel free to contact me via email. :)
