Hi I’m Xuting Liu
I’m a Ph.D. student at UPenn’s Distributed Systems Lab advised by Vincent Liu. I’m broadly interested in networks and Machine Learning systems.
Before joining UPenn, I got my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Operations Research at UC Berkeley, where I was part of the Sky Lab (formerly RISELab). I was advised by Joseph Gonzalez and Paras Jain at the Sky Lab and Rakesh Verma at UH.
