Yuqing ZHU

I am working in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. Before, I worked at the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China. I received my PhD degree on Computer Science and my Bachelor's Degree on Software Engineering in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. My current research interests are designing, implementing, benchmarking, tuning, and optimizing large-scale data management systems.
