I am an assistant professor in the CSE department of Texas A&M University as a faculty in Spring 2019. I earned my PhD in December 2017 from Stony Brook University. In 2018, I was a postdoc in RISE Lab of UC Berkeley.
Born in Taiwan, I devote my life to working on interesting problems. My motto is to be constructive to the world, and be supportive to people around me. Also, I love doing research in computer systems.
Learn about my recent workA Practical Library OS for Unmodified Applications on SGX (USENIX ATC '17)
My focus is on operating system designs and principles, in the aspect of performance, security, compatibility, and hardware support.
In a multi-tenant environment, applications running inside containers or pico-processes,
can be isolated by virtualization or library OSes.
➔ Graphene library OS
OSes are too complex to trust. A microkernel or a trusted hardware, such as SGX can reduce the risk of compromises, or protect applications from malicious hosts.
Decades of system research requires re-visiting the principles.
Topics like compatibility need better methods for evaluation and reasoning.
