I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University.
I work in the Database Group with Professor Johannes Gehrke.
I obtained my B.S. in 2009 from Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
I am interested in database systems and cloud computing.
In particular, my research focuses on building general optimization frameworks for data intensive applications in the cloud.
