Bio

I am a Senior Software Engineer at WeRide.ai, working on real-time autonomous-driving systems. I received a B.E. degree in Software Engineer from Tongji University in 2015, an M.S. degree and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2018 and 2020, respectively. I was advised by Dr. James H. Anderson during my Ph.D. study.

I defended my dissertation titled "Sharing GPUs for Real-Time Autonomous-Driving Systems" in July 2020.
