Zhuofu Chen

Hi there! I am a first-year CS Ph.D. student at Princeton advised by Prof. Ravi Netravali. I obtained my Bachelor's degree from Tongji University, enrolled in Computer Science Elite Class 2025.

Previously, I was fortunate to work with Prof. Zhihao Jia at CMU Catalyst as a research intern. I also had a wonderful internship at SJTU IPADS advised by Prof. Xingda Wei and Prof. Rong Chen. My academic journey began at Tongji University, under the mentorship of Prof. Zhijun Ding.

Feel free to drop me an e-mail if you would like to connect!

Interests

My general purpose is to redesign next-generation datacenter/cloud operating systems to bridge the gap between evolving hardware and emerging needs of software, with a current focus on serving machine learning workloads and supporting compound AI systems.
