Dr. Xiao (Shawn) Zhu xiaoshawnzhu@gmail.com


I earned a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan. Advised by Professor Z. Morley Mao, my Ph.D. research was on developing mobile systems and networking support for characterizing and improving emerging Internet applications.

Before my Ph.D. study, I got a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Tsinghua University, in China, where I was born and raised.

After Ph.D. graduation, I joined Google to tackle real-world challenges in delivering high-quality video content with low latency to billions of users across the globe, in a secure, reliable, and cost-effective manner.
