About Me​

I study software engineering and service computing, with a focus on how complex service systems are modeled, deployed, and governed. My research spans agentic service systems, cloud–edge–end collaboration, and microservice architectures for XR and metaverse services.

I am a PhD researcher at the Research Center of Intelligent Computing for Enterprises & Services (HIT-ICES), Harbin Institute of Technology. My work connects service modeling with practical systems, including service composition, collaborative rendering, and runtime governance. My current interests also include the reliable execution and lifecycle management of agentic services.

Research Interests​

Agentic Service System ASWEL

Agentic Service Workflow Execution & Lifecycle (ASWEL)

Reliable agentic services, with a focus on workflow execution, persistent service state, recovery, and lifecycle management. I explore how agent capabilities can support dependable services in evolving, multi-user environments.

Metaverse Microservice Systems MetaMCS

Cloud–Edge–End Collaboration for XR Services

Microservice architectures for collaborative rendering, scene modeling and service decomposition, and capacity planning under latency and jitter constraints.

Traditional Service Systems SC

Service Computing, Composition & Governance

Modeling service dependencies, identifying and filling functional gaps, and supporting service discovery, composition, and adaptive runtime governance.
