About me

I'm a Postdoc at Sky Computing Lab, UC Berkeley, working with Prof. Ion Stoica. I earned my PhD from UC San Diego, under the supervision of Prof. Steven Swanson. My main research interests span memory and storage management, programming models, distributed systems, and their intersections. Recently, I've been focusing on GPU and LLM memory management.
