Top SchoolNai Xia is an assistant professor and OS researcher at Nanjing University with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and implementing low-level system software, including operating systems, virtualization, compilers, and debuggers. He is the creator and maintainer of UKSM (Linux) and Xendedup (Xen), widely deployed memory deduplication modules used from cloud servers to Android devices. Nai has a strong track record of debugging and contributing to core kernels—resolving a tricky Linux 3.0 race and submitting accepted fixes to Xen—and helped integrate ideas from Compache into the official Linux kernel. Combining deep kernel craftsmanship with academic rigor (Ph.D. in OS/software security), he bridges research and production, often surfacing hard-to-reproduce concurrency bugs that stump core developers.
