I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at the National University of Singapore. Before joining NUS, I received my PhD from the University of Washington, advised by Dan Ports. Before that, I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan. My research has received OSDI '14 Jay Lepreau Best Paper Award and NSDI '15 Best Paper Award.
I am broadly interested in distributed systems and operating systems research. More recently, I have worked on the following research topics: co-designing distributed systems with data center networks, data plane operating systems, and decentralized system infrastructure.
