Bio
    ZHANG, Mingxing is a Tenure-track Assistant Professor at Tsinghua University, focusing primarily on memory system research. Initiator of the open-source KVCache.AI projects Mooncake and KTransformers. Authored over 30 papers in prestigious international conferences and journals such as OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS, HPCA, and EuroSys, including awards such as Best Paper at FAST, Distinguished Paper at SIGSOFT, and the first OSDI paper from a domestic Chinese university. Recipient of the ChinaSys Rising Star and Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Awards, IEEE TCSC Outstanding Dissertation Award, selected into the China Association for Science and Technology’s Young Talent Support Project. Previously served as Chief Algorithm Technology Expert and Dean of the Innovation Research Institute at Sangfor Technologies, where incubated products have been deployed to tens of thousands of customers.

Research Statement
    I am currently particularly interested in distributed memory-centric systems, which are constrained by data access latency or bandwidth. This is because, due to advancements in hardware technologies, memory's hierarchical structure has shifted dramatically in recent years. This shift leads to significant opportunities that demand us to fundamentally rethink and innovate at this level of the system, including the programming model and basic framework/runtime. The main target upper layers are cloud computing (especially serverless and disaggregated architectures) and AI (especially foundation models and graph technologies).
