My main research interests span operating systems, distributed systems, computer architecture, and datacenter networking. I also work on the intersection of systems and security, programming language, and ML/AI. I lead WukLab, a systems research lab at UCSD. I am currently exploring new ways to build software, hardware, and networking systems for the next-generation datacenters. Find more about my ongoing research on resource disaggregation and serverless computing and other systems-related topics. In the past, I have worked on various aspects of file and storage systems.
I won an NSF CAREER award in 2019, a VMware Early Career Faculty Award in 2020, an OSDI best paper award in 2018, and a SYSTOR best paper award in 2019. I have served (or will serve) as a program committee member of SOSP’21, NSDI’21, OSDI’20, WORD’19 (co-chair), SoCC’19, HotOS’19, SOSP’19, FAST’19, ASPLOS’19, OSDI’18, SoCC’18, USENIX ATC’18, ASPLOS’18, SoCC’17, HotStorage’17, FAST’16, SoCC’15, MSST’15, INFLOW’15, and HotStorage’14.
Before joining UCSD, I was an assistant professor at Purdue ECE from 2015 to 2019. I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
