Zheyuan Chen is a PhD candidate in Computer Science at UC Santa Cruz with seven years of software engineering experience spanning research and industry. He has built formal verification frameworks with TLA+ for GPU forward-progress models as a graduate researcher and applied middleware engineering for autonomous driving during an internship at Mercedes-Benz R&D. His research internship at Microsoft Research’s RiSE Group underscores a strong blend of systems research and practical implementation. Comfortable in Rust and systems programming (e.g., actix-web work for Rensselaer’s open source center), he bridges formal methods and production-ready software. Based in California, Zheyuan combines deep academic rigor with hands-on contributions to real-world platforms, often focusing on provable correctness in performance-critical systems.
