[] [] []

Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, at Dept. of Computer Science, .

Faculty of (for selected 1st-year undergraduate students).

Committed to building data infrastructures (e.g., real-time data computation, adaptive data profiling) in the AI era, and empowering intelligent applications (e.g., foundation agents) and underlying data systems (e.g., query optimization, query migration, system maintenance).

🔥

I got my Ph.D. degree from CS of Tsinghua, advised by Prof. Guoliang Li.

We have published papers in top-tier data management and AI conferences and journals, with 2000+ citations in Google Scholar and one best paper award (e.g., VLDB CCF-A).

We have been maintaining some highly-starred paper lists at Github (LLM✖️Data [], AI✖️Data []).

Contact Email: zhouxh@cs.sjtu.edu.cn ; fwu@cs.sjtu.edu.cn (Prof. )

I am actively seeking for strong and self-motivated PhD students, master students, and undergrad interns. Our Team owns GPU cards (like H100s) sufficient for experiments.

Build the data foundation in the AGI era together 🌤
