Shin-Yeh Tsai

I am a research scientist at Facebook, working on large-scale machine learning and deep learning systems. I received my PhD from Purdue University advised by Professor Yiying Zhang. My research interests span operating systems, distributed systems, and datacenter networking, previously focusing on RDMA-based datacenter network and remote/distributed memory systems.
