Biography
I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at Georgia Tech, advised by Prof. Kexin Rong.
I also closely collaborate with Prof. Ada Gavrilovska, Prof. Steve Mussmann from Gatech, as well as Dr. Nina Narodytska and Dr. Adriana Szekeres from VMware Research.
Previously, I was a research intern at Columbia University, working with Prof. Eugene Wu, where I contributed to the publication of three DB top-tier conference papers.
Additionally, I have extensive industry engineering experience, which you can learn more about on my LinkedIn.
Overall, my research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning and data-intensive systems, focusing on building efficient, scalable, and intelligent solutions, including but not limited to:
- RAG Systems(e.g., Vector Search)
- Data Analytics Systems (e.g., Video/Image Analytics)
- Data-Centric AI (e.g., Data Cleaning/Labeling)
I'm looking for an 2025 summer research internship, please feel free to contact me if you're interested.
