Personal Information

I'm a PhD student in the Network and Cloud Systems group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, advised by Prof. Yiting Xia. Previously, I earned my M.S. from the School of Computer Science, now the College of Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, at Fudan University in 2025, advised by Prof. Yang Chen. I also received my dual B.S. degrees from the School of Computer Science and Technology at Dalian University of Technology in 2020. Between my degrees, I spent two years as an Embedded Software Engineer at TP-LINK Technologies from 2020 to 2022, where I developed software systems for networking and robotic devices.

Research Interests

My research interests lie in networked and distributed systems, with a focus on the design and implementation of efficient and scalable protocols and architectures. I am particularly interested in using hardware-software co-design to fundamentally change how data center networks serve applications such as consensus protocols and large language models, enabling more efficient and predictable performance.
