About Me
I am currently a graduate student in the Computer Science
Department at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. My
advisor is Prof. Yuanyuan Zhou. Previously I received my BS degrees
in Computer Science and Computer Engineering from Washingon University
in St. Louis in 2003. Currently I am looking for a job, as I will be
finishing my PhD shortly.
Research Interests
I work in operating system and architecture. Specifically, I have
been focusing on practical systems to improve security and
reliability. Most recently I have been working on system support for
bug diagnosis (see the 2007 SOSP "Triage" paper below), which allows
bugs to be diagnosed on-site with minimal overhead. Other major work
includes the 2007 Eurosys "Sweeper" paper on flash worm response, and
the 2005 SOSP "Rx" paper on generic recovery.
