I am Yankai Jiang, a second year Computer Engineering PhD student in Northeastern University, advised by Prof. Devesh Tiwari. I'm part of the Goodwill Lab. My research focuses on cloud computing, sustainable computing and HPC.

Previously I obtained my M.S. in Computer Engineering from Northwestern University, advised by Prof. Peter Dinda and Prof. Xinyu Xing. Prior to that, I graduated from Xi'an Jiaotong University with B.E. in Automation. Also, I was a student from Special Class for the Gifted Young.
