I’m a senior researcher at Microsoft Research Asia. Previously, I earned my Ph.D. in the computer sciences department, University of Wisconsin–Madison, under the guidance of Prof. Andrea Arpaci-Dusseau and Prof. Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau.
My research interests are in operating systems and file and storage systems.
I work on building better systems, improving aspects such as performance, reliability, and usability.
