Welcome to my home page. I am a graduate student pursuing a PhD under the advisement of Prof. Yan Chen. Before joining Northwestern University, I completed my B.S. in the Department of Physics and my M.S. in the Department of Computer Science & Technology at the Tsinghua University of China. 

I spent the summer of 2006 researching network situational awareness with DR. Vern Paxson at ICIR.
