Zhiyuan Guo's Homepage

I am a final year PhD student at the University of California San Diego, major in Computer Science.

I am now a part of the Wuklab and SysNet group in UCSD, and luckily advised by Prof. Yiying Zhang. I focus on building efficient, performant, and scalable next generation datacenter systems, through resource disaggregation and co-design of application, software and hardware stacks. My research interests span Operating Systems, Distributed Systems, Computer Architecture, and Programming Languages.

I am on the job market this year (2025).
