I am a second year Ph.D student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Massachusetts working with Professor Prashant Shenoy . My research interests include cloud resource scheduling and automatic management and mobile clouds.

I obtained my B.E. at the Software Institute, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China. During my senior year, I worked with Professor Baoliu Ye and Professor Sanglu Lu on an interactive P2P streaming system.

I studied at the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering,National Cheng Kung University,Taiwan as an exchange student for one semester.

3/26/2012: Our latest work on dynamically managing enterpise applications across different cloud platforms was accepted to USENIX ATC 2012 as a short paper: " Seagull: Intelligent Cloud Bursting for Enterprise Applications" by Tian Guo, Upendra Sharma, Timothy Wood, Sambit Sahu and Prashant Shenoy.

5/18/2011: I received student travel grant from USENIX ATC 2011, Portland, OR.
