I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Ming Hsieh Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Southern California, USA. I am working with Professor Viktor K. Prasanna in parallel computing and high-performance computing. In particularly, I am interested in multicore processors, heterogeneous systems, and hardware acceleration.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering from USC in August, 2007. My dissertation is on high-performance linear algebra on FPGA-accelerated systems. I received a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from USC, an M.Phil degree from the Department of Computer Science, University of Hong Kong and a Bachelors degree in Engineering from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University, China.
