Research

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at TU Dortmund, Germany. I will join Computer Science Department, National Tsing Hua University as an assistant professor in August, 2025.

My research focuses on operating systems, file systems, databases, and computer architecture. If you enjoy building real-world systems and infrastructure, this could be a great opportunity for you! I have extensive experience with open-source system projects. I also have strong collaborations with researchers in Germany. We have opportunities for international research exchange!

I am looking for students who are passionate about building system. If you’re interested, feel free to reach out! Let’s build something exciting together!

我們的研究團隊正在尋找對系統研究充滿熱情的學生！無論你想找碩班、博班指導老師、大學專題研究，都歡迎寄信給我，一起聊聊。

我跟德國的研究團隊保持緊密合作，提供國際交換的機會。
