I received my Ph.D. degree in Purdue University in Dec 2009. My advisor was Dr. Y. Charlie Hu, and I was a member of the Distributed Systems and Networking Lab at Purdue. Before coming to Purdue, I got my bachelor degree from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2003.

Research

My general interests are networking and distributed systems. I am particularly interested in improving the resilience and performance-cost tradeoff of the Internet routing routing. Below are some of the projects that I have worked on,

Internet Measurement and Routing Analysis
Slot: Shortened Loop Overlay Transport
GridCop: Monitoring Remotely Executing Programs for Progress and Correctness
Accusim: Accurate Buffer Cache Simulator
