About Me

I am a Ph.D student in Computer Science Department of Cornell University since September 2008. My advisor is Johannes Gehrke.

Before my graduate study, I received my Bachelor degree from Fudan University.

My research interests include database systems and cloud computing. In particular, I am passionate about building large-scale data-driven systems.

My Curriculum Vitae.

Note: I graduated with my PhD in Aug. 2012 and am joining LinkedIn for my first job. This page will no longer be maintained, but you can find my latest updates on my LinkedIn page.
