I am an incoming Assistant Professor at the National University of Singapore, starting from Fall 2026. Currently, I am a visiting researcher at NVIDIA, where I am fortunate to work with Christos Kozyrakis. Before that, I received my PhD at ETH Zurich, where I was fortunate to be advised by Gustavo Alonso and Torsten Hoefler, and my thesis was recognized with the SIGMOD Jim Gray Doctoral Dissertation Award. I earned my Master’s degree from Columbia University and my Bachelor’s degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, both with honors. My work has been recognized with a VLDB Best Paper Award, the ML and Systems Rising Star Award, and the AMD HACC Outstanding Researcher Award.

I work on full-stack ML systems / AI infrastructure, and my most recent interests include database + AI and robotics systems. Rather than focusing on a single layer of the stack, I work across algorithms, systems, and hardware. As a result, I publish broadly across various systems-related venues, suchh as databases (SIGMOD, VLDB), high-performance computing (SC), computer architecture (ISCA), ML systems (MLSys), and data mining (KDD). My research has pioneered several important topics in machine learning systems, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, recommender systems, and, most recently, robotics systems.
