Lei Yan

I am a PhD student at EPFL, working with George Candea, Sanidhya Kashyap, and Diyu Zhou on systems and concurrency. My thesis involves designing systems that can automatically parallelize single-threaded systems software while achieving high and predictable performance.

I am seeking industry research/development positions in systems/infrastructure, starting from April 2025 or later. I like hacking and building systems, as well as developing tools that enhance developer and operator productivity. I also like geography and play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
