Yuhong LIANG

Assistant Professor

Biography

I am currently a tenure-track Assistant Professor (independent PI) at Great Bay University (GBU). Previously, I was a senior engineer at Huawei (Hangzhou, China). I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong under the supervision of Prof. Ming-Chang YANG in 2022. Before that, I received my Bachelor’s degree in computer science from South China University of Technology in 2018.

Research Interests

I am interested in the problem of data storage, including storage systems, memory systems, database systems and data infrastructure for Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning.
