Hello and welcome to my personal website! I'm Tingjia Cao, a PhD student in the Computer Science Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, working in ADSL with Professors Andrea and Remzi Arpaci‑Dusseau.
My research focuses on making cloud platforms faster and more resource‑efficient. Broadly, I am interested in operating systems, storage systems, and cloud computing.
