Fan Ni (Ph.D)

In July 2025, I rejoined VMWare (Broadcom) as a performance engineer. Before that, I was an open source staff engineer at Samsung (San Jose, CA). I worked on CXL eco-system and contributed to both Linux kernel and Qemu (a full system emulator). 

I have backgrounds  in both computer architecture and storage/file systems (holding two Ph.Ds from BUAA, China and UT Arlington, US, respectively ). I am an expert in data deduplication, SSD-based file systems and storage systems design.
