Welcome
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). I work with Prof. Sarita V. Adve on computer architecture.
Before my graduate study, I was a research assistant under the supervision of Prof. Chi-Ying Tsui and Prof. Wing-Hung Ki at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and NeuroTech (HK) Limited for half a year.
I received my Bachelor of Engineering with the first-class honor in ECE from HKUST in the summer of 2019 with two minors in IT and Math. My undergraduate study was supervised by Prof. Jiang Xu.
For my hobbies, please check More about Me.
Research Interests
I am interested in the design of hardware-software interface with the work spanning
- Computer Architecture
- Heterogeneous Systems
- Architectural Design Space Exploration
- Memory Systems
- Hardware/Software Co-design Method
- Parallel Programming
My current research focuses on efficient cache coherence and data communication in CXL systems.
For my publications etc., please check CV.
