About me

I am a compiler engineer on the Mojo Language team at Modular, a startup building next-generation AI infrastructures and developer platforms.

Before Modular, I was at SambaNova Systems building the MLIR-based compiler stack for Reconfigurable Dataflow Units (RDUs). And before SambaNova, I was the founding software engineer at Bigstream, building the whole software stack for big data acceleration, including compilers, runtimes, and toolchains for FPGAs.

Between finishing my degrees and the beginning of the startup adventures, I had the great pleasure to work as a research engineer at Qualcomm Research Silicon Valley on the Pervasive Concurrency team to maximize the performance of heterogeneous multi-core platforms and Qualcomm's LLVM polyhedral optimization.

I did my graduate work on Out-of-order Parallel Discrete Event Simulation for Electronic System-Level Design with Professor Rainer Dömer at University of California, Irvine from 2007 to 2013. I have a B.S. (2004) and an M.S. (2007) in Computer Science and Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU).

My research interests focus on Compilers and High Performance Computing.

I like reading, playing the fiddle, going hiking and folk dancing in New England.
