About Me

I'm an Assistant Professor in the department of Computer Science at City University of Hong Kong. I received my Ph.D. in 2020 from CSE Department of University of California, Riverside, under the supervision of Prof. Zhijia Zhao. I got my bachelor degree from Sun Yat-sen University. Before joining CityU, I was a tenure-track assistant professor at Michigan Technological University (2020-2022). My research interests are broadly in the area of parallel computing, compiler, and systems. My CV is here.

I'm looking for self-motivated students who are interested in doing research in system and compiler areas. PhD and RA supports are both available, so feel free to contact me (but please read this before sending the email).
