BIOGRAPHY
I am currently a fourth year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am a member of Database Systems Group, working with Prof. Jignesh M. Patel. I received M.Phil. degree from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2009 under the supervision of Prof. Qiong Luo, and B.S. degree in Computer Science from Peking Univerisy in 2007.
I am very grateful to have my research supported by a Facebook Fellowship (2011-2012) and the Anthony Klug NCR Fellowship in Database Systems (2013-2014).
Here is my CV.

RESEARCH
My general area of interest is Database System. More specifically, I am intrigued by the problems that are related to data processing on new hardware, e.g., large main memory, multicore processors, new instruction sets, and flash SSDs. Here are some of my research projects:
Quickstep. Quickstep is a ongoing project whose goal is to design and build a analytical database engine for large memory and modern multi-core processors.
WHAM. WHAM is a high-throughput sequence alignment tool in a large main memory environment. It aligns short DNA sequences (reads) to the whole human genome at a rate of over 1.5 billion 60bps reads per hour, which is over two orders of magnitudes faster than the leading state-of-the-art techniques.
FD-Tree. FD-Tree is an external index structure that brings LSM append-only write performance with B+-Tree read performance. It transforms all random writes on updates into sequential ones without increasing the number of I/Os on reads. FD-Tree is particularly efficient on flash SSDs.
