About me

I am a PhD candidate at the Computer Science Department of New York University, advised by Professor Jinyang Li. I am interested in applying system techniques to improving the performance of machine learning systems. Currently, my research primarily focuses on deep learning serving systems.

Before joining NYU, I received my B.S. in Computer Science at Nanjing University, China, where I was advised by Professor Wenzhong Li and I worked on improving performance of wireless network.

Here is my one-page Resume. You can also download a full version of my CV.
