Zixuan Peng

I am a first-year PhD student in Systems@Brown.

Before that, I was an undergraduate student in Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau.

I am broadly interested in operating systems, distributed systems, machine learning for systems, and systems for machine learning. I enjoy building real systems, working closely with hardware and operating systems, and collaborating with great people.
