I joined Microsoft Research Silicon Valley in August, 2006. I can be contacted at yxie at microsoft dot com. Here is my new Web Page .

I obtained my PhD from Computer Science Department in Carnegie Mellon University in 2005, advised by David O'Hallaron and Hui Zhang. After that, I worked as a Postdoctoral fellow for one year with Hui Zhang and Mike Reiter.
