Senior🎓
Top SchoolErfan Sharafzadeh is a research scientist with a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University and a decade of experience focused on operating systems, host networking, and datacenter networks. His work blends rigorous academic research—such as designing burst-tolerant datacenter networks and a fair queuing packet scheduler for the Internet—with practical systems engineering across academia and industry. He has hands-on experience building networking infrastructure at HPE Labs and now advances networking research at Meta, bringing ideas from papers into deployable designs. Erfan’s background includes exploring how OS scheduling interacts with application latency and designing congestion controllers, giving him a rare cross-layer perspective from kernel to network. Based in New York, he combines deep experimental evaluation with system implementation skills and a track record of translating theoretical insights into real-world performance improvements.
