Education

• 1987-1991, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, B.S. in Computer Science.
• 1991-1994, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, M.S. in Computer Science.
• 1997-2002, College of William & Mary, Ph.D. in Computer Science.

Research

My research interests include high performance computer architecture, parallel and distributed computing, and architectural support for security. Here is the my publications. And one of those ideas, with Zhichun Zhu and Xiaodong Zhang, ``A permutation-based page interleaving scheme to reduce row-buffer conflicts and exploit data locality", has been used in the Sun UltraSPARC IIIi processor: See the details here and an acknowledgement letter from the Sun MicroSystems Inc.
