Personal Profile

I am an associate professor at School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), China. I received the B.E. degree and the Ph.D. degree from HUST in 2011 and 2017, respectively. During my Ph.D. study, I was fortunate to be advised by Prof. Changsheng Xie and Prof. Fei Wu.

My research interests include non-volatile memory, solid-state drives, and novel storage architectures and systems. I received research funds from the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Alibaba Group, and Huawei Technologies, etc.
