Overview

I am an associate professor at Wuhan University.

I obtained my Bachelor's degree from Computer Science Department, Wuhan University. I got my PhD degree in Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Feb. 2006, where I worked with my advisor Prof. Zhiwei Xu on distributed computing, especially the Grid resource management. I also interned at MSRA (Microsoft Research Asia) with Prof. Qian Zhang as my supervisor on delay tolerant networks in 2005. I was a postdoc researcher at Community Grids Lab, Indiana University, with Prof. Geoffrey Fox on Grid workflow management from 2006 to 2007. From 2014 to 2015, I was a visiting scholar at Department of EECS , University of Michigan, Ann Arbor with Professor Sugih Jamin.

Broadly, I am interested in all kinds of computing systems. Currently, I am working on operating systems and distributed computing systems.

Personal

I lived in Tianjin, Chongqing and Wuhan, studied in Wuhan and Beijing, worked in Shenzhen, Beijing, Bloomington, IN, and Ann Arbor, MI, USA. Now I live and work in Wuhan with my beloved family and friends.

I enjoy reading, playing badminton, swimming and traveling (business travelling is not included).
