 Resume

 

I'm a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University. I'm a member of the File Systems and Storage Lab (FSL) and affiliated with the Institute for AI-Driven Discovery and Innovtion. My main research topics are multi-tier storage caching systems, performance modeling, visualization, artificial intelligence, disaggregated memory, and CXL technology.

If you see me around, ask me about my research, hobbies, or just say hello and blankly stare. I'm always looking for new opportunities and collaborations. :)

Academic Projects

  • RISC64IM CPU Core: Implementation of a fully functional processor core for the RISC64IM ISA in System Verilog. Included a 5-stage data path, set-associative L1 and L2 caches with write-back and LRU replacement policies, victim caching, translation lookaside buffers, and dynamic branch prediction.
  • Per-process system calls: Independently developed a Linux kernel-based module that enabled each process to have their own system call vector. Supported dynamically uploading new system calls and vector assignment via command line ioctl input.
  • TRFS: A stackable Linux file system based off the “wrapfs” file system used to trace file system activity, featuring record checksum validation and incremental ioctl support.
  • Designed logic programming problems for the ICLP 2016 LP/CP Programming Contest (Teaching Brackets and Subway Tickets). [ICLP 2016]

Awards
