Tenure-Track Assistant Professor, at Dept. of Computer Science, Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Faculty of Zhiyuan Honors Program (for selected 1st-year undergraduate students).
Committed to building data infrastructures (e.g., data computation for online ml, data preparation for llm) in the AI era, and empowering upper-level applications (e.g., analytics / QA tasks) and underlying systems [see My Resume].
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 2 main conference awards (SIGMOD 2025 | VLDB 2023).
We have been maintaining highly-starred paper lists at Github (LLM✖️Data [link], AI✖️Data [link]).
