Apr 2016 Attend AT&T Research Academic Summit. Rethinking Network Flow Monitoring (Update: Best Poster Award)
Hi! I am currently a postdoc researcher at CMU and Harvard working with Prof. Vyas Sekar and Prof. Minlan Yu. I obtained my PhD degree in 2018 from Department of Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University, where I was advised by Prof. Vladimir Braverman.
My research interests include networked and distributed systems. In particular, I work on efficient algorithmic and systematic design for SDN, Datacenter, Programmable Network, and "big data" Systems.
