I grew in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. After living 18 years there, I headed for Beijing in 2004 to attend Peking University, from which I received a degree of B.Sc. in Computer Science in 2008. I joined the Department of Computer Science, Purdue University in the same year to pursue a Ph.D. objective, with Prof. Zhiyuan Li as the initial advisor. I am now serving as a graduate research assistant during my first boilermaker year.
Currently, I am focused on investigation and development of numerical algorithms for multicore computers. Although the multicore architecture resembles traditional parallel computing facilities, it nevertheless poses challenges to researchers and developers in that its shared memory model is more susceptible to ill-scheduled memory access than the distributed memory model of many parallel computers. In collaboration with Profs. Zhiyuan Li and Ahmed Sameh, I devote my present effort to understanding the performance of existing numerical linear algebra packages including ScaLAPACK and LAPACK on multicore computers, knowledge based on which I expect to develop new, multicore-specialized algorithms.
