Jian Yang currently works at Google.

I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science at University of California, San Diego, My PhD advisor is Prof. Steven Swanson.

My research at UCSD was mainly focused on emerging persistent memory and high-performance networking.

I received B.E. in Software Engineering at Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Interests

I am interested in networking (TCP/IP and RDMA), storage systems (persistent memory), operating systems and distributed systems.
