Biography
I am a final-year PhD student in Computer Science at UIUC, advised by Prof. Ravishankar K. Iyer. I am affiliated with the DEPEND research group in the Coordinated Science Laboratory. I am on the academic and industrial research job market in the 2023-24 cycle.
I am broadly interested in distributed systems, with a focus on performance, resilience, and sustainability.
My recent research focuses on designing and integrating ML/RL-based solutions seamlessly (i.e., efficiency, robustness, and reliability) with algorithm-system co-design into the design and management of production cloud systems:
➪ [OSDI 2020] Fine-grained resource management for cloud microservices
➪ [SoCC 2022] Multi-tenant serverless computing resource management
➪ [ATC 2023] ML model deployment and management in production cloud systems
Before joining UIUC, I got my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Hong Kong (HKU). I was advised by Prof. Heming Cui at the HKU Systems Software Group.
In the past, I have worked with IBM Research, Google, and Microsoft Research.
