Graduate Student

I am a graduate student at UC Merced, co-advised by Prof. Pengfei Su and Dr. Keren Zhou. In the meanwhile, I am involved in Prof. Xu Liu’s group and maintaining regular interactions with him. Prior to that, I received my M.S. degree from Shandong University in 2021, supervised by Prof. Lei Ju, and I completed my B.E. degree from Shandong University in 2018.

My research interests cover heterogeneous computing, high-performance/parallel computing (CUDA), static and dynamic program Analysis, and machine learning system memory analysis and optimization.
