I am a Researcher at the Department of Computer Science, Guangdong University of Technology. I received my Ph.D. degree from Jinan University in December 2025 under the supervision of Prof. Yuhui Deng. From September 2024 to August 2025, I was a visiting student at the University of Exeter under the supervision of Prof. Geyong Min. My research interests are centered around cloud computing, including Containerization Data Center and Serverless Computing. Specifically, I am interested in system design within serverless frameworks and providing innovative solutions to enhance performance and efficiency.

I serve as a reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Computers (TC), IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD) and Journal of Supercomputing.
