Computer Scientist | Visiting Faculty Researcher @ Google | Faculty @ CMKL University (2026)
I am an assistant professor at CMKL University and a Visiting Faculty Researcher at Google, focusing on database efficiency research at scale and in emergent areas. My research aims to bridge all gaps between human and data, currently investigating data systems at the intersection of database management systems, data mining, probabilistic algorithms, machine learning, and distributed systems.
In my prior life, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2025 and my B.S. from the University of Texas at Austin in 2020, under the unwavering support of Prof. Yongjoo Park and CreateLab members. As summer interns, I have tinkered with someone else’s data systems: Google Spanner’s schema tuning, Google AlloyDB’s database tuning, Google Data Pipeline’s distributed shuffle, Robinhood Spending’s transaction, Facebook Location-Aware Distribution’s large-scale data distribution, and Uber’s analytics infrastructure. Competitive programming opportunities like ACM ICPC are also influential chapters of my journey, having inspired me with extraordinarily talented teammates and instilled in me a pursuit of elegant and performant data systems.
Ongoing Projects
