About Me

Hi there! I am a second-year master student at Nankai Baidu Joint Lab, College of Computer Science, Nankai University, with Prof. Yusen Li as my supervisor. I received the bachelor's degree from University of Science and Technology Beijing in 2022.

My research interests lie in Cloud Computing and Systems for Machine Learning, such as large language models (LLM) and vector databases (VDB). As Moore's Law fades, my work aims to fully exploit hardware resources, free operators from complex system configurations, and enhance LLM & VDB efficiency through solutions that span data management, computer systems, operations research, and machine learning. My contributions include identifying performance bottlenecks, designing efficient system architectures, and inventing new optimization algorithms.

⭐ Looking for US PhD opportunities (Fall 2025) on System, MLSystem, etc.
