Short Bio: I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computer Science at Nanjing University, where I received my B.S. (2016) and Ph.D. (2023). I was honored with the Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award by the Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE), Jiangsu Province, and Nanjing University. My research focuses on On-Device LLM Systems (端侧大模型系统) — spanning foundation model pre-/post-training, on-device agent harness, and domain-specific agent applications. I have published over 40 papers in premier venues including ISCA, SIGMOD, VLDB, and EuroSys, and held visiting research appointments at Alibaba DAMO Academy and NTU.
