Now I am a postdoc researcher advised by Professor Hong Jiang at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA. I received my Ph. D degree in Computer Architecture from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (advised by Professor Dan Feng) in 2010. My research interest is focused on improving performance, reliability and energy efficiency of storage systems. Recently I am interested in the deduplication-based storage systems.
