Mo Sha

I am a research scientist at Apsara Lab, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence. I received my PhD in 2021 from the School of Computing, National University of Singapore, supervised by Prof. Kian-Lee Tan. My research interests span database systems and data management, particularly modern hardware, secure data processing, and graph algorithms. At present, I devote most of my efforts to intelligent operations and automation for database systems in industrial and production environments.
