Short Bio
I am a fourth year Ph.D. candidate in the Computer and Information Science department at the University of Pennsylvania. I am co-advised by Zack Ives and Boon Thau Loo. I am also proud to be a member of the friendly DBGroup at Penn.
My research interest is in database systems. In particular I am interested in distributed query processing, adaptive query processing, declarative networking, sensor stream integration and large-scale data-intensive computing.
Before entering graduate school at Penn, I completed my B.S. in Computer Science from Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Shanghai is my hometown and I miss everything there. Apart from Ph.D. study, I enjoy playing piano, running and biking.
Here is my Curricum Vitae.

Other Activities
I'm the new contact person for DBGroup meetings.
From May 2008, I started to organize CISters, an informal group of graduate women in the CIS department. I had a lot of fun hanging out with friends there.
