Bio

I am a Software Research Engineer at Intel. I design and develop visualization tools for real-time yield analysis.

I received my Ph.D. from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I worked with Prof. Leilani Battle in the BAttle-Data Lab and UW Interactive Data Lab.

I received my M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Maryland and my B.S. in Telecommunication Engineering from the Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.
