I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of ECE at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, working on an open-source library, Taskflow, and advised by Prof. Tsung-Wei Huang. My current research focuses on high performance, parallel and heterogeneous computing. I used to investigated in varius projects including edge computing, data analysis, privacy protection and streaming system. During my leisure time, I enjoy playing badminton.

Recent Update


Current Project

Taskflow, AsyncTask, Pipeflow, syclFlow

Taskflow helps C++ developers quickly and efficiently write parallel and heterogeneous programs with high performance and simultaneous high productivity. AsyncTask allows users to explore dynamic task graph parallelism in their applications. Pipeflow provides an efficient pipeline scheduling framework. syclFLow allows users to write GPU codes using single source programming model SYCL easily.
