Youmin Chen is a software engineer and tenure-track associate professor with eight years of experience focused on distributed and storage systems, particularly exploiting emerging hardware like NVM and RDMA. Trained with a Ph.D. in distributed systems and in-memory computing from Tsinghua and a visiting scholar stint at UW–Madison, he combines rigorous academic research with hands-on system building. His recent work targets the “Killer Microseconds” problem, reflecting a practical drive to eliminate ultra-low-latency bottlenecks in real deployments. Based in Haidian, Beijing, he brings deep expertise in storage stack design and performance engineering, often bridging theory and implementation. An academic turned practitioner, he uniquely balances publishing-quality research with producing systems-ready solutions.
