NOTE: This is my old webpage. In January 2006, I started as a tenure-track assistant professor at the School of Computer and Communications Sciences at EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), Switzerland. Please consult my new page. You can find a brief summary of my research efforts here. My full CV is here.

I have finished my stay as the postdoctoral researcher in the Systems and Networking group at UCSD . In July 2005, I have completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Duke University. I serve as the Information Director for ACM TOCS
