I am an assistant professor at Web Information Systems (WIS) group of TU Delft and the lead of InfiniData Team. Before joining TU Delft, I received my Ph.D. degree with “summa cum laude” from Information Systems & Databases group of RWTH Aachen University, Germany. I received my BEng and MEng from Tsinghua University, China.

My research focuses on data management, in particular, the power of data. I build data systems that treat emerging computational workloads, such as generative AI and quantum computing, not as external black boxes but as data that can be modeled, queried, and governed inside a database. The central idea is simple: by representing computational artifacts as data, we can bring the full strength of database abstractions, including schemas, optimisation, execution, and provenance, to modern computing.
