Nian Liu
I am currently a research scientist at Huawei OS kernel lab. I received my Ph.D. degree (advised by Prof. Binyu Zang and Haibo Chen) in Computer Science from the Institute of Parallel and Distributed Systems (IPADS), Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) in 2023. My major research interests include microkernels, energy-aware scheduling, scalable synchronization, and weak memory models.
