Hi, I am Zhiqiang, a second year Computer Science Ph.D. student at Stanford University.

My research aims to improve observability and efficiency of Computer Systems with a focus on Cloud Computing and Machine Learning Systems. I am part of the MAST Lab, where I am advised by Prof. Christos Kozyrakis and I also work closely with Prof. Kayvon Fatahalian.

Prior to joining Stanford, I obtained my master’s and bachelor’s degrees at ShanghaiTech University and had a great time interning in the Cloud Software System Group at Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), the Systems and Networking Research Group at Microsoft Research Asia and the DGL team at AWS Shanghai AI Lab.
