My interests center on building fast and secure systems. My research includes Parallel and Distributed Systems, System Virtualization and Cloud, Storage Systems, Operating Systems, and System Security. Currently, I am a full professor of computer science at East China Normal University (ECNU).
Before joining ECNU, I worked at Huawei Central Research Institute. As a principal researcher & technical director, I started and worked with a research group on storage systems with NVMs, and system virtualization for datacenters.
Before joining Huawei, I was an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I was also a visiting research scientist in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University, and worked with Professor Junfeng Yang in the Software Systems Laboratory.
