I am a tenure-track assistant professor in Department of Computer Science at Boise State University, leading the ⭐ Pisces Lab ⭐. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Louisiana State University in 2024, under the supervision of Dr. Qingyang Wang.
My interest lies in performance and scalability analysis of various cloud systems, with the aim of achieving good performance and high resource efficiency for evolving systems in cloud environments. My research relies on timeline analysis to investigate various factors that cause the performance variations of cloud systems. Moreover, we design and evaluate intelligent and automated frameworks to improve the system performance.
My collaborators are from Augusta University, Georgia Tech, Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd, etc. I have worked as a summer research intern at the University of Chicago, specifically in the Globus Labs.
To prospective students:
I’m always looking for students who have a solid background in computer systems and share my research interests. If you are interested, please e-mail me with your Resume.
Ph.D. in Computer Science, 2018 - 2024
Louisiana State University-Baton Rouge
B.Eng. in Optical Information Science and Technology, 2014 - 2018
Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications
I collaborate with many researchers in Performance and Scalability Analysis of Web Systems, Stateful IoT Data Streaming Systems, AI/ML Systems in Science, and Cybersecurity. Examples include analyzing performance anomaly in microservices and stateful stream processing systems (Flink), designing flexible and efficient AI systems for scientific applications (Molecular Simulation), and defending new DDoS attacks in web systems.
