Daixuan Li

I am a third year CS Ph.D. candidate at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am advised by Prof. Jian Huang as a member of the Systems Platform Research Group. My research interest lies in the fields of Memory and Storage Systems and ML for Systems. I am especially interested in how to leverage Machine Learning techiques to solve system and architecture problems.

Prior to my Ph.D. study, I obtained a Bachelor of Engineering's degree in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Science's degree in Applied Mathematics (Second Degree) from Tsinghua University.
