About me

Welcome to my homepage! I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate from the Department of Computer Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) . I obtained my Ph.D. from CS department at UIUC, advised by Prof. Tarek F. Abdelzaher. Prior to UIUC, I received my bachelor degree from Computer Science Department in Shanghai Jiao Tong University, under the supervision of Prof. Xinbing Wang and Prof. Weinan Zhang.
