I am now an associate professor of the School of Informatics at Xiamen University. I obtained my B.S. degree in Mathematics and Applied Mathematics from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), and Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Tsinghua University. I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. My current research interests include designing and building secure and dependable techniques for large-scale storage systems and data centers.
