Hi there!
I am Ying Zhang, second-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Northwestern University, where I work with Prof. Fabián E. Bustamante at AquaLab.
My research interest focuses on Networkings and Systems, especially measuring the consolidation and reliability of Internet. I am particularly insterested in and working on Submarine Cable Networks (SCNs), Video streaming qualities and Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).
Previously, I completed my Bachelor’s at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Master’s at Northwestern University. My past work experience resonates with my research, I had industry experiences at Bytedance Inc and Rubrik Inc.
