Chenxingyu Zhao

I am Chenxingyu (Frank) Zhao, a third-year Ph.D. student in Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, advised by Prof. Arvind Krishnamurthy. My research interests include networked systems and storage systems, with a focus on SmartNIC/DPU and disaggregated storage. Before coming to UW, I received my B.S. in Computer Science (with honors) from Peking University, advised by Prof. Tong Yang.

I have the pleasure of working with some fantastic colleagues, Tapan Chugh, Jaehong Min, Ming Liu, Tianyi Cui, and more.
