Short Bio
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill under the advisory of Professor James H. Anderson. My research focuses on enabling efficient design, analysis, and implementation of complex multicore real-time embedded cyber-physical systems (CPS). Specifically, my research seeks to efficiently support several common characteristics that often arise in the design and implementation of many CPS, including dependency, energy efficiency, and scalability. My research interests include Multicore Real-Time Embedded Systems, Distributed Systems, Cyber-Physical Systems, Energy-Efficient Computing, and Algorithm Analysis. I received a Best Student Paper Award in the 30th RTSS, and a Best Papers award in the 17th RTCSA.
Professional Highlights
- I have authored more than 25 publications in journals, conferences and workshops (22 as first author).
- My work has appeared in many top-tier academic venues, including RTSS, PACT, RTAS, ECRTS, HiPC, and Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing.
- I received a Best Student Paper Award in the 30th RTSS.
- I have been awarded a UNC's Dissertation Completion Fellowship.
- I have instructed UNC's undergraduate course "Introduction to Programming", as the sole instructor.
- I worked as a research intern at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center and IBM Austin Research Laboratory. My work during the internships has been published at top-tier academic conferences.
- I have been a reviewer for more than 20 conferences and journals.
