Short Bio

Da Zhang is now a Sr. Engineear at Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Computing Lab at Samsung Semiconductor Inc. (SSI). He was a Ph.D. student at the Department of Computer Science of Virginia Tech. He worked in the HEAP (High-performance, Energy-efficient, Assured Processing) laboratory under the supervision of Prof. Xun Jian. His researches were about Computer Architecture and High Performance Computing, particularly in high-performance memory hierarchy for big data applications.
