I have broad interests in networking and system areas. Much of my work has focused on characterization of Web/streaming media traffic and Internet topology, streaming media workload generation (GISMO), and performance evaluation of large-scale streaming delivery techniques. I am interested in streaming media caching and Web caching, multicasting, network transport protocols, and server performance enhancement and implementation, and data and knowledge management.

Before coming to the States, I had received BS and MS degrees in Computer Science and had been a research associate in Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China. During the years in the States, I worked at IBM T.J. Watson Research Center in summer 2000 and 2001, and received the IBM Ph.D. research fellowship in year 2001-2002.
