Xiaolu Li received the B.Eng. degree in Computer Science and Technology from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) in 2016, and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2020. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2020-2021. She is now a lecturer of the Department of Computer Science at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). Her research interests are in building reliable storage systems.
I’m looking for self-motivated students who are interested in distributed storage systems, coding theory including erasure codes and error correction codes, LSM Tree-based KV store, and hardware accelerator such as FPGA. If you are interested in these topics, please feel free to contact me.
We also welcome undergraduate students (year-2 or year-3) who are looking for research internship opportunities. If you want to get your hands dirty, please feel free to contact me.
