I will work as a software engineer intern in Google New York this summer.
I am a second year Ph.D student in Computer Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I belong to the database research group at Penn and work with Prof. Zack Ives. Prior to this, I received my B.Sc in Computer Science and Mathematics (with First Class Honors) in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. In summer 2008 and summer 2010, I worked as a software development engineer intern in Microsoft STB China. I am from Shanghai , and thus speak Shanghainese and Mandarin natively. I also speak Cantonese.
