Bio

yang zhou

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student @ Harvard University, advised by Prof. Minlan Yu and Prof. James Mickens. I am broadly interested in networked systems. In particular, my work focuses on kernel customizations via eBPF, distributed runtime systems, remote memory, smart NIC security, and network telemetry. My research is supported by a Google PhD Fellowship in System and Networking. I received the M.S. in Computer Science @ Harvard University in 2021. I received the B.S. in Computer Science @ Peking University in 2018, advised by Prof. Tong Yang, where I researched data stream (or one-pass randomized) algorithms. Google Scholar, CV
