I am a PhD student in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) Department at the University of California, Riverside (UCR). My research goal is to design efficient and scalable parallel graph algorithms. My research is based on multi-core CPUs and focuses both on improving theoretical bounds and providing high-performance software. I'm fortunate to be advised by Yan Gu and Yihan Sun. Previously, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from ShanghaiTech University.
