My interest is "system software",
such as operating systems and programming languages.
I worked for developing Java™ JIT compiler
for Linux,
accelerating Java locks,
and reducing the startup overhead of Java applications.
I am also interested in virtualization technologies.
Recently, I am working for
the analysis and reduction of memory footprint of Java
and also for programming languages on Java.
