Hi! I am a software engineer at TigerGraph. 

Before joining TigerGraph. I am a master's student at Pennsylvania State University, major in Computer Science and minor in Computational Science. I used to work as Research Assistant on design and implementation of numerical algorithms as Ph.D. candidate in Civil Engineering for 2 years before I changed my major. 

After my first year as a Master of Science student in Computer Science, I got a cumulative gpa of 3.96/4.0. I finished many programming projects within courses including Operating Systems, Computer Architecture, Concurrent Scientific Programming, Digital Image Processing and Binary-level Program Analysis. Moreover I took more graduate-level project-intensive courses to improve my coding skill, such as Operating System Design, Computer Networks and Distributed System.

I attended Kaggle competition Toxic Comment Classification Challenge in 2018 and got Top12% among all competitors. I evaluated 25 potential features in feature engineering for NB-SVM baseline and discovered 3 useful features. I appiled 5-layer GRU model with Keras and TensorFlow, enhanced with pre-trained GloVe word embeddings. The ensemble of the results of NB-SVM model and GRU model improved the AUC score from 0.9761 to 0.9829. 

My M.S. research focuses on extending a open-source project named Soufflé for lattice-based static analysis. Soufflé is a variant of Datalog for tool designers crafting static analyses. For now I have extended the parser to lattice definition and extended the semi-naïve evaluation scheme to rules with lattice. And I am working on how to extend the parallelization part in the interpreter and compiler with OpenMP and MPI.
