Qi Huang

• I am a Computer Science PhD student at Cornell University supervised by Ken Birman.

  My current research focuses on bringing environmental adaptivity to distributed systems. Previously my work centerned around optimizing the message delivery across the wide-area network, such as Gossip, Multicast and P2P live streaming.

  Generally, I am interested in understanding the principle ideas and deep trade-offs that makes real systems scalable & reliable.
