门子扬CSE @ UC Riverside

About me

I am a 5th-year Ph.D. candidate at University of California, Riverside in the CSE Department, where I am fortunate to be supervised by Yihan Sun and Yan Gu.

I received the M.Sc. in CS from University of Copenhagen, supervised by Jakob Nordström, and received dual B.Eng. in EE from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and University of Glasgow, supervised by Yi Zhou and Mingyu Xiao.

🙌 I am currently on the job market and preferring the Post-doc positions. Please let me know if you have such opportunities. Thanks very much!

Research

My research is on parallel algorithms and data structures (shared-memory, thread-level), with a focus on designing parallel indexes for vector similarity search and ordered sets.

The goal is to achieve both high-throughput updates and low-latency queries with strong theoretical guarantees for these data structures.
