Zhizhen Zhong
Postdoctoral Associate
I work in the intersection of computer systems/networking and optics/photonics for next-generation reconfigurable networks and high-frequency computing systems. My work has been published in both top system/networking venues like ACM SIGCOMM, USENIX NSDI, and IEEE/ACM Trans. Netw. etc., and top optics/photonics journals like Science, Optics Express, and Journal of Optical Communications and Networking, etc.
I commit 1-2 hours of my spare time every week as my open office hour to meet, advise, mentor, and help students/researchers who belong to underrepresented groups in the Computer Systems/Networking and Optics/Photonics community. Please fill out this form if you are interested.
