About

I am a Research Scientist at Meta, leading various routing solutions (centralized/SDN and distributed/BGP) in its large-scale data centers and AI training clusters. Before joining Meta, I obtained my PhD in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, advised by Professor Morley Mao. My PhD thesis focused on systematically enabling and improving centralized control paradigms in network systems (i.e., SDN) and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).

I received my B.Eng. in Communication Engineering from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications(BUPT). I was also fortunate to spend a year and a half at Tsinghua University working with Professor Jun Bi (RIP) on Software-Defined Networks research.
