Yuanjiang Ni

Yuanjiang joined SSRC in 2017, and graduated with a PhD in 2022. His advisor is Professor Ethan L. Miller. Link to his google scholar page: Google Scholar Page.

Research Interests: non-volatile memory, operating systems, distributed systems

Current Research: He is now exploring architectural/OS supports for more efficient persistent-memory-aware failure-atomic transactions. He proposed shadow sub-paging, a hardware-friendly cache-line-level remapping technique that minimizes the extra writes that are taken to ensure failure-atomicity.

Previous Research: He has previously investigated persistent-memory-aware OS checkpointing, profiling NVRAM file systems, etc. Before joining SSRC, he worked on optimizing flash-based caching.
