Bio & Education

Now, I am pursuing a PhD degree of Computer Engineering at Rutgers University, under the guidance of Prof. Manish Parashar.
 
During my master study (2007.9-2009.6) in School of Computer Science and Technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), my advisor is Prof. Shengli Li. I used to be a research assistant of Peer-to-Peer computing group at SCTS&CGCL Lab, which is directed by Prof. Hai Jin. And our group leader is Prof. Xiaofei Liao and Prof. Wenbin Jiang. I received ME & BE degrees both in computer science and technology from HUST in June 2009,June 2007.

Research Interest and Projects
 
Research Interest: Distributed Computing Systems, Parallel Programming Models, Cloud Computing, HPC I/O, Peer-to-Peer Video Streaming

Projects:
COCOS: Coordinate Cores Space

DIMES: Distributed Memory Space

DADS: A Dynamic and Adaptive Data Space for Interacting Parallel Applications

DataSpace: A data sharing framework that enables dynamic and asynchronous applications interactions in HPC clusters.
* I implemented the IBM BlueGene/P version of DataSpace, and used the IBM Deep Computing Messaging Framework (DCMF) low-level communication library to enable one-sided memory-to-memory data transfer.


The following are projects i worked on at HUST (2007 ~ 2009):
GridCast: a P2P VoD Streaming system deployed in CERNET(China Education Research Network), which is popular among campus students.
(research issues related to GridCast could be found here GridCast)

MoSee: a prototype system which extends the AnySee P2P Live Streaming system to the wireless WLAN environment.
(research issues related to MoSee could be found here MoSee)
