Wanyu Zhao

I am a second-year PhD at UIUC CS, advised by Prof. Brighten Godfrey. I’ve also had the privilege of working with Prof. Charith Mendis.

My research interests lie in computer systems, machine learning, and the intersection between the two areas. My goal is to build practical and efficient systems (including machine learning and other emerging large-scale workloads). My recent research focuses on applying Machine Learning to System Design. I’m part of LDOS, where we are building the next-generation Machine Learning-based Operating System to drive computing infrastructure toward high efficiency and performance.

Misc

I’ve been lucky to work with Prof. Jian Huang on learning-based software-defined flash infrastructure at UIUC and Prof. Anastasios Kyrillidis on distributed matrix completion at Rice University during my undergrad.

I like coding and I’m committed to open source. Some of my past projects include: ExAllTrue (won the second place in the financial track of DeeCamp 2021), Rapq, MazeGenerator, and ClassChat.
