About Me

I am a tenure-track associate professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU). I am also a member of the Data Driven Software Technology (DDST) Lab. I build fast and robust next-gen data and storage systems. My work has appeared at top systems venues such as SOSP, FAST, ASPLOS, Eurosys, USENIX ATC, SIGMOD, VLDB, etc. My current research interests lie at the intersection of storage systems and the following three disciplines:

Storage × OS: New abstractions at the OS level with enhanced flexibility, programmability, and schedulability.

Storage × H/W: New systems with faster interactions between emerging hardware and storage software.

Storage × AI: New applications (e.g., large language models) through algorithm–storage co-design.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Tsinghua University, advised by (Jiwu Shu and Youyou Lu), and Bachelor’s degree from Honors College (formerly School of Advanced Engineering), at Beihang University. From 2021 to 2024, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Tsinghua University. Earlier, from 2019 to 2020, I was a visiting scholar in the ADSL lab at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, working with Professors Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau and Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau.

I am currently seeking PhD/Master/undergrad students to work on storage systems, operating systems, and interactions between AI and systems. If you are interested, please refer to the details and don't hesitate to reach out via email.
