I am a Ph.D. candidate at the HPC & Cloud Computing Center, Northwestern Polytechnical University (NWPU), Xi’an, China, advised by Prof. Jianhua Gu and Prof. Tianhai Zhao (expected graduation: June 2026). I have been admitted as a postdoc researcher at the University of Macau, where I will collaborate with Prof. Chengzhong Xu and Prof. Huanle Xu. I am truly excited to work with them. My research focuses on AI infrastructure, distributed systems, operating systems, cloud-native serverless, and datacenter networks, with a particular emphasis on RDMA and disaggregated memory.
