About Me

I am a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Georgia Institute of Technology, working at SSLAB coadvised by Taesoo Kim and Anand Iyer. Before Georgia Tech, I graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. My research interests include systems for deep graph learning and general machine learning. I am currectly exploring systems aspects of training/serving dynamic GNNs and Graph-based RAG for LLMs.
