Bin Fan (范斌 in Chinese)

Office: GHC 9003 Computer Science Department Carnegie Mellon University Email: binfan (AT) cs (dot) cmu (dot) edu I am a 6th-year Ph.D. at Computer Science Department in Carnegie Mellon Unveristy. Working with Prof. Dave Andersen, my research spans in computer networks, storage systems and distributed systems. I am also working closely with people from Parallel Data Lab (PDL) of CMU and Intel Labs Pittsburgh. Before coming to CMU, I got my master degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, co-advised by Prof. John C.S.Lui and Prof. Dah-Ming Chiu, and my bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the University of Science and Technology of China(USTC).
