we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)
About Me
I joined Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) since January 2019. I received my PhD degree in Computer Science from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in 2012. My PhD thesis title is “ Efficient shared object space support for distributed Java virtual machine”.
