Welcome to Dayi's Homepage!

I'm a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University, advised by Prof. Xiaodong Zhang. I received my B.Eng. degree from Southern University of Science and Technology in 2021. More details can be found in my resume.

My current work focuses on parallel and high-performance computing, algorithm engineering, and data management for large-scale systems. I have developed state-of-the-art parallel algorithms for three fundamental problems: tree edit distance, graph maximum matching, and bipartite weighted matching. By combining novel algorithmic designs with optimized implementations on multicore CPUs and GPUs, my research aims to accelerate irregular data analytics workloads through scalable parallelization.

My research agenda also extends to system-level challenges in AI applications. More broadly, I hope to explore how AI agent systems can support algorithm engineering by automatically exploring data structures, parallel strategies, and hardware-specific optimizations. Please feel free to contact me and I always enjoy meeting new friends!
