About Me

I am a tenure-track Associate Professor at Nanjing University. I received my Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University in 2023 (Advisor: Prof. Jiwu Shu), and Bachelor's degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2018. From 2023 to 2025, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Tsinghua University.

Prospective students: We are seeking highly motivated PhD students, Master’s students, and interns. If you're passionate about system research and interested in working with me, please feel free to reach out via email.

Research

My research focuses on computer systems, particularly storage/memory systems and networked systems.
The research topics I am currently interested in include:

  • Distributed systems with memory-semantic interconnects
  • System support for petabyte-scale memory
  • Data management for Agentic AI
  • Sustainable cloud storage

Here are some of my representative research projects:

  • Network-Accelerated Distributed Systems
    • Leveraging NIC hardware ACKs for fast commit (NSDI'25)
    • Network primitives for replication (OSDI'23)
    • Distributed locks (FAST'25, FAST'23)
    • Transactions (USENIX ATC'22, VLDB'22)
    • In-network cache coherence (FAST'21)
  • Emerging Memory Systems
    • Index on disaggregated memory (EuroSys'25, SIGMOD'22)
    • Persistent memory systems (OSDI'21, USENIX ATC'22/ATC'23)
    • SSD-extended remote memory (FAST'24)
    • Protective remote memory (FAST'23)
