Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolZhongrui Chen is a fourth-year PhD candidate in Computer Science at UNC Chapel Hill focused on improving data center operational efficiency through queueing theory and provable scheduling policies. Advised by Ben Berg, he develops Markovian Service Rate policies that maximize throughput and tightly bound mean response times for critical workloads like databases, LLMs, and container/VM runtimes. His work blends theoretical Lyapunov drift analyses with discrete-event simulation and practical studies on systems such as ClickHouse, bridging rigorous proofs and real-world performance evaluation. With a background spanning graphics, differentiable rendering and ML-enhanced PDE solvers during his undergraduate research, he brings a cross-disciplinary perspective to systems research. Open to research internships for summer 2025, he’s driven by measurable gains in latency, utilization, power use, and carbon footprint.
