Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolYe Shu is a second-year PhD student in Computer Science at UC San Diego researching security, network systems, and programming languages under Professors Stefan Savage and Geoff Voelker. He brings eight years of hands-on research and engineering experience spanning formal verification of APIs with symbolic execution, DSL design for online surveys, and censorship-resistant network bootstrapping. Previously a CS and Philosophy double major at Williams College, he blends technical rigor with deep interest in epistemology and philosophy of mind, informing his approach to trustworthy and introspective systems. Ye has experience across academic labs and industry internships—including network and mobile security research, AI engineering, and quantitative research—demonstrating versatility from low-level systems to applied ML. A Linux user and security enthusiast who signs git commits with a GPG key, he’s drawn to questions about how beliefs are formed and whether machines can meaningfully know. Based in San Diego, he combines formal methods and systems thinking to build more robust, censorship-resistant networked software.
