👋 Hello! I’m Yuning.

I’m a research assistant at Rice University🦉, helping to build the next generation of high-performance computing performance tool HPCToolkit.

Previously, I received my Master’s degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Cornell University🐻. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering at Tongji University.

If you’d like to get in touch, feel free to reach out through Email, LinkedIn, or schedule a meeting through Calendly.

Thanks for visiting!
