About Me


I am a forth-year CS Ph.D. student at Virginia Tech. I am working with Ali R. Butt and Huaicheng Li. I received my B.E. in Software Engineering at Northeatern University (China) in June 2020.

My research lies in compiler/runtime co-design for modern multi-tiered memory systems (CXL) in cloud datacenters. Currently, I'm working on identifying code segments that lead to different levels of memory access intensity and building runtime decision models to dynamically adjust memory allocation sites. Previously I was working on programming language support for runtime object temperature tracing and migration.
