Who Am I

I am a Senior Researcher/Architect at ByteDance. I’m currently working on next-gen infra for AI/Machine Learning (AIGC, LLM, Recommendation and stuff), software/hardware co-design, data & storage accelerators, disaggregated & hybrid memory architecture and cloud infrastructure.

Before joining ByteDance, I worked as Senior System Integration Engineer/Technical Solution Engineer at Google. I worked with XFN teams and partners to integrate Google products/services (Google Assistant, Chromecast, Project Matter) into partner devices. I also collaborated with Google Brain on a moonshot project for Edge TPU. The work was featured by Google AI and published in CVPR-22 (ECV22) with patents pending. I’m also a Certified Google Cloud Architect & TensorFlow Developer.

Earlier on, I worked as Staff Engineer at Alibaba (storage architecture and cloud infrastructure), and as Embedded Software Engineer at Intel (3D XPoint, Optane, NAND SSDs, Streaming Media SoC).

I got my PhD in Computer Engineer from the University of Pittsburgh. My research area was Computer Architecture, with focus on emerging memory/storage technologies. My works on Phase Change Memory have pioneered the area of this disruptive technology in memory architecture, and were among the most influential (top 15 most cited papers) in the history of ISCA, the most prestigious conference in computer architecture research.

I have lots of curiosity and passion in new technologies and science. I’m interested in AI/ML, quantum computing, Linux, Emacs, IoT/embedded systems and coding stuff. I also enjoy Astronomy, Math, Physics and soccer. Oh one more thing, I’m also a cat lover :-)
