About Me

I am an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Louisiana State University. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Georgia Tech in 2014. Before that, I received my M.E. and B.E degrees from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Wuhan University, repectively.

To prospective students: I'm always looking for students who have a solid background in computer systems and share my research interests. If you are interested, please e-mail me with your CV and transcripts.

Research

My research is in distributed systems and cloud computing with a current focus on performance, scalability, security of large-scale web applications and IoT stream processing.

My research is motivated by the essential requirement of simultaneously achieving good performance and high utilization for cost efficiency in cloud computing environments. Good performance (e.g., fast response time) is critical for the business of e-commerce web applications like Amazon. High utilization through virtualization and hardware resource sharing is essential for cloud vendors for a high return on investment. However, both practitioners and researchers have experienced large response time fluctuations or unpredictable performance in the cloud, especially when the utilization becomes high. To solve this problem, my research has been focusing on two aspects: first, investigate various system-level factors that cause the performance unpredictability of systems running at moderate to high resource utilization; second, design, implement and evaluate practical solutions to mitigate the negative impact of those factors and achieve the performance predictability at high resource utilization.
