About me
I am a Senior Engineering Manager and Research Scientist in Meta networking group since 2014. Currently I lead the AI Networking Software team at Meta, focusing on building RDMA-based GPU-GPU communication fabric and host software. Before this, I supported various teams including Network Analytics, Traffic Engineering, Network Routing, and UI. I received my PhD degree at Stanford University, working with Professor Nick McKeown and Professor George Varghese. Before that, I received the Master's Degree from Department of Electrical Engineering at Stanford and the Bachelor's Degree from Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University.
I'm broadly interested in aspects on computer networks and systems, ranging from edge, backbone, datacenter networks, SDN, network verfication, and programmable hardware.
