I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science 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 runtime-OS co-design for modern multi-tiered memory systems (CXL) in cloud datacenters. Currently I focus on fine-grained object hotness tracking and migration for reference-count-based GC languages. Previously I also worked in system support for Federated Learning, and big data workloads (MapReduce) within Serverless architecture.
