Hailiang Zhao

Biography

Currently I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University (ZJU), under the supervision of Prof. Shuiguang Deng. Before my Ph.D. career, I was an undergraduate from Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) and received my B.Eng. degree in Computer Science and Technology on June, 2019. From Sep. 2022 to Sep. 2023, I was a visiting PhD student at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, under the supervision of A. Prof. Xueyan Tang.

I am interested in broad topics in cloud & edge computing, distributed systems, and algorithm design & analysis. You may find some interesting materials at https://hliangzhao.cn.
