Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Zhou is a Research Associate at the University of Cambridge with a decade of experience in binary translation, reverse engineering, compiler optimization, program analysis and parallelization, grounded in an earlier hardware-focused background. He holds a PhD in Computer Science and an MPhil with distinction from Cambridge, and a first-class BEng in Computer Science and Electronics from Bristol. Kevin’s industrial experience at Arm includes porting DynamoRIO to AArch64 and FPGA-oriented processor/interface design and verification, highlighting a rare blend of low-level software tooling and RTL-level hardware work. He excels at turning complex program-analysis problems into practical tooling and optimizations, often bridging the gap between compiler theory and deployable systems. Colleagues value his deep technical rigor and ability to navigate both firmware/hardware constraints and advanced compiler research.
