About Me

  I'm a last year ECE Ph.D. student at Iowa State University. Before I came to ISU, I received a MS degree in ECE from Boston University and a BS degree in physics from Wuhan Univeristy.

Research

  My research interest primarily focuses on large-scale storage systems, especially HPC storage systems. My current research projects are related to data provenance, reliability issues in large scale file systems and serverless computing.
