I am a staff engineer at Institute for Intelligent Computing, Alibaba. I have been working at Alibaba since 2018. My experience at Alibaba included a joint postdoctoral research position with Alibaba and Peking University from 2019 to 2021, under the guidance of Dr. Jingren Zhou and Prof. Wenxin Li. Before joining Alibaba, I co-founded 7Bridges Ltd., a graph computing startup that was acquired by Alibaba in 2018. Prior to that, I obtained my PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2017, supervised by Prof. Wenfei Fan, and received a master's degree from Beihang University in 2013. My expertise lies in graph computing, data processing, and distributed systems. Currently, I am focusing on the open-source project GraphScope, a comprehensive system for large-scale graph computing.
