About Me
I am currently a tenure-track associate professor in Shanghai Jiao Tong University. From September 2015 to January 2019, I was a Software and Research Engineering in Google's network infrastructure team. Before that, I received my PhD degree from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Purdue University in August 2015, advised by Prof. Xiaojun Lin.
I am currently looking for highly motivated students who are interested in theoretical modeling, algorithm and system design, system implementation, etc. Students at all levels, including undergraduate students and graduate students, are welcomed!
Research Interests
Closing the gap between theory and system. I am a theorist working on large-scale networked systems, including software defined networks, internet of things, smart grids, wireless networks. My current focus is software defined networking in data centers. I am particularly interested in developing and applying theories, including but not limited to, queueing theory, convex optimization, robust optimization, machine learning, etc., to real systems, and demonstrating how theory changes the fundamental architecture of large-scale networked systems.
