I'm a second year Ph.D. student in the LASR group of the department of computer science. My advisor is Prof. Mike Dahlin. My current interests are in distributed systems and fault tolerance.

I got my bachelor's degree (July 2005) and master's degree (Jan. 2008) in Computer Science from Tsinghua University.

    Research
    I am currently working on the UpRight project. It is a library and framework for building distributed systems with high availablity. The library can be configured to tolerate both crash failures and Byzantine failures.
    Previously when I was a master student, I worked on serveral projects related to storage systems, including an adaptive caching system, a file system tracing tool and an out-of-band virtualization system.
