I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Texas Tech University. I am part of the research team led by Dr. Yong Chen, collaborating with experts like Dr. Wei Zhang from Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and Dr. Suren Byna from The Ohio State University. My research focuses on High-Performance Computing (HPC) and scientific data management, and large language models on HPC.
