I am an associate professor at the Software Engineering Institute of ECNU, with the Shanghai Key Laboratory of Trustworthy Computing and the Engineering Research Center of Software/Hardware Co-design Technology and Application，Ministry of Education. I am leading the Intelligent Computing and Networking (ICN) Research Group, and our research mainly focuses on Datacenter Networking, Machine Learning Systems, AI-driven Intelligent Networking, Fog/Edge Computing and Cloud Computing. I obtained my Eng.Msc degree in Computer Infomation System Engineering from Warsaw Unviersity of Technology, Poland (sponsered by China Scholarship Council) in 2011 under the supervision of Prof. Jacek Wojciechowski, and my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from HKUST in 2015 under the supervision of Prof.Mounir Hamdi (IEEE Fellow). Prior to joining ECNU in 2020, I worked at the Bell Labs as a research scientist from 2015 to 2016, and at Huawei as a senior engineer from 2016 to 2020.

I am looking for self-motivated Master/Ph.D. students and visiting researchers. Please email me your CV if you are interested in my research and have a relevant background (strong programming skills and a solid foundation in mathematics are required, AI/Machine Learning experience would be a plus).
