About me

I am now a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology (2022-present). I am advised by Prof. Haikun Liu. I enjoy working in CGCL lab. My research interests focus on:

Large-scale Vector Search System Computational Storage Agent Memory

In particular, my research objective is to thoroughly explore advanced computing and storage architectures to realize the high-performance, large-scale AI system.
