I am a Ph.D. candidate in Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS) at Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Huanchen Zhang. Before coming to Tsinghua, I obtained my bachelor’s degree from Nankai University in 2020. My research interests mainly lie in indexing data structures, AI for DB, data storage and cloud databases.
