About Me

    I received my Master of Science MSc(CS) degree in Computer Science from the University of Hong Kong in 2006.

Research

My current research area is high-performance computing (HPC) including cluster and many-core computing. My PhD thesis topic was around a type of middleware system called distributed Java virtual machines (DJVM) which can transparently parallelize a multi-threaded Java program over a cluster of computers. I explored and devised hybrid forms of cache coherence protocols to support more efficient fine-grained distributed object sharing.

    My MSc(CS) project work was to port Apache Tomcat on JESSICA2 to support real-world web applications or web services.
 
Teaching

I was a tutor for two Master-level courses CSIS7303 High-performance Computing and CSIS7305 Cluster and Grid Computing during 2007-2010.

 
Spiritual

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (Jn3:16).

Jesus Christ sacrificed His life on the cross for our sins. He is my Savior and Lord. Wish you receive His wonderful love and grace by believing in Him.
