I am Yankai Jiang, a first 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, where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Peter Dinda in Prescience Lab. 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.

MISC

When music resounds, the soul is spoken to. I can't live without music, especially symphony. I'm a long-term subscriber at CSO and BSO. I am a Mahlerian (ardent admirer of Mahler) and a devoted lover of Anton Bruckner's compositions. I also enjoy hacking low-level systems.
