About

I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Computer Science and a member of KDELab at the University of Science and Technology of China.

My current research interests include cache optimization, AI for Database, KV cache compression, and efficient inference for large language models.

I keep technical notes and older project write-ups in the blog archive.
