About

My name is Sherman, and I am a first-year PhD student in the Computer Science Department (CSD) at Carnegie Mellon University, co-advised by Prof. Greg Ganger & Prof. George Amvrosiadis in the Parallel Data Lab (PDL). I’m broadly interested in computer systems, and am currently focusing on large-scale data systems.

Before CMU, I was a software engineer at Jump Trading, where I built low-latency systems for high-frequency trading applications. I also worked on accelerating memory-disaggregated data systems using DPUs with Prof. Jialin Li and, further back, QUIC congestion control with Prof. Ben Leong, at the National University of Singapore. I received my Bachelor in Computer Science from the National University of Singapore.

Do refer to my CV for more details.
