Hi, Welcome to my personal site.

I am a second year Ph.D student in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at Syracuse University. Before I came here, I was a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. I earned a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Information Engineering from China. I served as an intern at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

I am interested in data storage systems and AI areas. Currently, I'm focusing on flash storage. The emerging SSDs caused serious competition to disks. Although researchers have spent decades learning and studying disk performance, little about the behavior of flash memory is yet known and we need to find a better way to exploit SSDs' potential. Much of my current work focuses on the performance of the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) algorithm, that is, how to predict write amplification, which in turn determines performance, endurance, and reliability.

I would like to find an internship during semester break and welcome the opportunity to bring my skills into practice!
