| Nov 26, 2025 | My collaboration with my friend Zhenhao Gu, “Efficient trace reconstruction in DNA storage systems using Bidirectional Beam Search” was published in iScience. First journal publication, and it is the current state-of-the-art in DNA storage trace reconstruction in terms of speed! (by a lot) |
| Nov 16, 2025 | I attended the MolecularArXiv Workshop on DNA Data Storage in Corsica, France. Amazingly won their flagship ‘Sequencing & Decoding’ challenge using the tools developed in our prior works. Read them here and here. However, the best part was meeting the wonderful researchers also working on DNA data storage! Hopefully, I will get to do this more often. |
| Jun 20, 2025 | I have absolutely loved teaching at NUS this past year, and so am very happy to learn that I have been awarded the Teaching Fellowship from the School of Computing @ NUS! (AY2025/2026) |
| Apr 02, 2025 | A cool collaboration with my friend Zhenhao Gu, “Efficient trace reconstruction in DNA storage systems using Bidirectional Beam Search” was accepted at RECOMB-seq’25, set to be held in Seoul, South Korea on April 24-25, 2025. Zhenhao will be presenting the work at RECOMB-seq and the poster session at RECOMB! |
| Jan 10, 2025 | Was honored to learn that I have received the Research Achievement Award from NUS! (Semester 1, AY2024/2025) |
| Dec 25, 2024 | Good news on Christmas Eve! In a way that can only be described as “somehow,” I’ve managed to pass the Qualifying Examination for my PhD at NUS! |
| May 08, 2024 | The second publication of my PhD! I made my second conference presentation on our work “DNA Storage Toolkit: A Modular End-to-End DNA Data Storage Codec and Simulator” at ISPASS’24 in the Simulation session. |
| May 02, 2024 | A collaboration with my friend Gao Bin, “Cost-Efficient Large Language Model Serving for Multi-turn Conversations with CachedAttention” was accepted at ATC’24, set to be held in Santa Clara, USA on July 10-12, 2024. Bin will be presenting two papers at ATC! |
| Mar 02, 2024 | Our work “DNA Storage Toolkit: A Modular End-to-End DNA Data Storage Codec and Simulator” was accepted at ISPASS’24, set to be held in Indianapolis, USA on May 5-7, 2024. This work is a collaboration with my friends Gary, Bin, Longshen and Dehui! |
| Jan 19, 2024 | I have proposed two projects for the Odyssey undergraduate summer research program at School of Computing, NUS. |
| Oct 31, 2023 | My first publication! I made my first conference presentation on our work “Efficiently Enabling Block Semantics and Data Updates in DNA Storage” at MICRO’23 in the Emerging Technologies session (4C). |
| Aug 08, 2023 | I started my PhD at the National University of Singapore. I will be part of the Department of Computer Science at the School of Computing. |
