VIEW MOREABOUT
I am a PhD student in Information and Communications Engineering at Institute of Science Tokyo (formerly Tokyo Institute of Technology), where I also received my master's degree. I work as a research assistant at CARAS Lab under Dr. Hiroshi Sasaki. My research is about making software, especially web applications, run faster on modern high-performance CPUs. Right now I focus on branch prediction and interpreters.
Before coming to Tokyo Tech, I earned my bachelor's degree in Software Engineering from Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications. I worked on big data and machine learning projects, including NLP and face recognition, at the CQUPT E-evidence Collection and Preservation Laboratory.
