Han-Ting (Ting) Liang
PhD Candidate | System and Networking
I am a PhD student in the field of systems and networking. I started my second year of PhD in 2024, co-advised by Prof. Francis Yan and Prof. Indranil Gupta in the Distributed Protocols Research Group at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My work spans a range of topics (e.g., Microservices, Cluster Scalability and Performance Management, IoT, Al Infra), with a central focus on one key question - "How to make services deployed on large-scale infrastructure faster and more reliable?" My recent research are improving microservices peformance and resource utilization with optimal decision-making and machine learning solutions as well as bridging device-state consistency gaps in smart homes.
During my Masters at NTHU, I work with Prof. Jerry Chou, focusing on optimizing resource management and service runtime with dynamic orchestration for microservice applications. I also worked with Prof. Wu-Chun Chung during my undergrad in CYCU, revolving around building a multi-node OpenStack cloud from scratch with EPA technologies and service-aware auto-scaling solutions for Telco VNFs on-boarding. Outside the school, I was an AI Algorithm Engineer interning at Industrial Technology Research Institute.
