About me
I am currently a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the
University of Texas at Austin. I'm working with
Dr. Keshav Pingali in
Intelligent Software System research group (ISS).
I received my Bachelor's of Engineering degree in Electrical Enegineering in May
2015 at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
My research interest is in introducing control and optimizations
into parallel, streaming or HPC applications, leveraging the use of control theory, approximate
computing, machine learning and deep learning.
