My current research interests are primary on building systems for ML/AI and using ML/AI to solve systems problems. I lead WukLab, a systems research lab at UCSD. My past research interests include various co-designs of systems and computer architecture, data-center networking, programming language, and systems security.
I have won an OSDI best paper award, a SYSTOR best paper award, an NSF CAREER award, a VMware Early Career Faculty Award, a Google Research Award, a Meta Systems Research Award, and an Amazon Research Award. I have served or will serve as a program committee member of SOSP (2024, 2023, 2021, 2019), OSDI (2022, 2021, 2020, 2018), NSDI (2022, 2021), ASPLOS (2022, 2019, 2018), SIGCOMM (2023), USENIX ATC (2024 co-chair, 2018), FAST (2019, 2016), SoCC (2019, 2018, 2017, 2015), WORDS (2023 co-chair, 2022 co-chair, 2021 co-chair, 2019 co-chair), HotOS (2021, 2019), HotStorage (2023 co-chair, 2022, 2017, 2014), and APSys (2023 co-chair).
Before joining UCSD, I was an assistant professor at Purdue ECE from 2015 to 2019. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
