About
I am an Assistant Professor at the CS Department of UT Austin. Before joining UT Austin, I was a postdoc scholar at UC Berkeley working with Prof. Aditya Parameswaran and earned my Ph.D. degree from the CS Department of UChicago, advised by Prof. Aaron Elmore. At UChicago, I'm also fortunate to work with Prof. Sanjay Krishnan and Prof. Michael Franklin.
I am generally interested in building systems for data-intensive applications. My current research focus is on novel data system architectures in the cloud.
I am actively seeking Ph.D. students. Please check out this page for PhD hiring and feel free to reach out if you are interested in my research. For undergraduates or master's students who are interested in working with me, please fill in this form.
