Currently, I am a senior researcher at Huawei Technologies Canada, where I develop advanced AI infrastructure for data center networks. My work involves designing cutting edge, high-performance network solutions to meet the demands of modern AI applications.
I completed my Ph.D. in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Eyal de Lara at the University of Toronto. During my Ph.D, I was part of the Computer Systems & Networks Research Group.
My doctoral research was centered around the development of distributed databases and query engines specifically tailored for the mobile edge. This work involved addressing the unique challenges posed by mobile environments, such as latency, consistency, and resource constraints, to ensure efficient and reliable data processing and retrieval.
My research interests includes Distributed Systems, Data Center Networking, Cloud and Edge Computing, Distributed Databases
