I currently work on next-generation storage at Huawei, driven by emerging applications and new hardware platforms.
I received my Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Jiwu Shu and Youyou Lu in the Storage Group. My Ph.D. research especially focused on storage systems for heterogeneous hardware, together with persistent memory, RDMA, and near-data processing.
