About Me

I am currently a software engineer at Google. I received my PhD from UC San Diego in 2014 and was working in the Systems and Networking Group under the supervision of Professor Alex Snoeren and Professor Geoff Voelker. I obtained my M.S. (Computer Engineering) from UCSD in Feb 2010 and B.ENG (Computer Science) with first class honors from School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore in Jan 2006 (completed courses in 3.5 years under the Accelerated Bachelor Program). From Feb 2006 to Feb 2008, I worked as a project officer in Center for Multimedia and Network Technology (CeMNet), Nanyang Technological University. Since Sep 2008, I am in UCSD for my graduate study.
