About Me

I am a 4th year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I am co-advised by Boon Thau Loo and Insup Lee. Here is my CV.

My research interest is in large scale computing. In particular I am interested in distributed resource management, data sharing in distributed system, mobile computing and ad hoc networks. I'm now a member of NetDB@Penn.

Before entering graduate school at Penn, I received my B.S and M.S degree from mobile computing group at Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
