About Me: I am a researcher graduated from Virginia Tech CS, specializing in computer architecture and security. I completed my Ph.D. in 2025 and will join Ant Research in June 2026. During my Ph.D., I focused on improving the performance and efficiency of secure memory systems in Cloud, covering the topics of memory encryption, cache side channels, memory sharing and memory deduplication. I worked with Dr. Xun (Steve) Jian as part of the HEAP (High-performance, Energy-efficient, Assured Processing) Lab research group. Here is my CV.
