About Me
I am a final-year Master student at Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Mingwei Xu. I received my B.Eng. degree in School of Software, Tsinghua University in 2020.
I am motivated to develop new mechanisms and systems in real networks for finer measurement, control, optimization, and new applications. My research interests include network measurement, programmable data planes, and smart systems.
Currently in Seattle. Happy to chat!
