Affilication: LANDS(先进网络与数据科学研究组), School of Computer Science, Nanjing University

Short Bio: I am currently an Assistant Researcher at School of Computer Science from Nanjing University, where I earned my Bachelor’s degre (2016) and a PhD (2023). I was awarded the Outstanding PhD Thesis distinction by both the university and Jiangsu Province. My research focuses on on-device intelligence systems, publishing over 30 CCF-A papers in venues like SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE, EuroSys, WWW and INFOCOM. I have also conducted research visits to Alibaba DAMO Academy and NTU.
