I am currently working as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at Ryerson University (my current webpage). I finished my Ph.D. under the supervison of Dr. Down in 2015.
I completed my Bachelor's degree from Zhejiang University (China), and Master's degree from The University of Hong Kong.
My research interest is performance evaluation and prediction for software/system migration.
