    Dr. ZHANG, Mingxing is a tenure-track assistant professor at Tsinghua University. He has published more than twenty papers in leading conferences and journals, such as OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS, HPCA, FSE, VLDB, ATC, and EuroSys. He has been honored with the SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award and received the best doctoral awards from both IEEE TCSC and SIGOPS China. He obtained his Ph.D. degree from Tsinghua University in 2017. Before rejoining Tsinghua in 2022, he served as the chief algorithm expert and head of the Sangfor Innovation Institute at Sangfor Technologies, a leading company specializing in cloud computing and network security.

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).
