I am a second-year PhD student at ETH Zurich advised by Prof. Gustavo Alonso. I have also worked closely with Torsten Hoefler, Ce Zhang, and Theo Rekatsinas. Before joining ETH Zurich in 2021, I received my M.S. degree from Columbia University and B.Eng. from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, both with honors.

My research interests include computer architecture, data management, and machine learning. More specifically, I am interested in enabling large-scale vector retrieval (approximate nearest neighbor search) by cross-stack solutions: from efficient retrieval algorithms to distributed systems design and high-performance hardware support. A while ago, I explored hardware-accelerated solutions for industry-scale recommender systems.
