Hi, I’m Jiaxin Lin. I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Texas Austin, major in Computer Science. I got my bachelor degree from Beihang University, Beijing in 2019. I am now a part of the University of Texas Networked Systems (UTNS) Lab, and my adviser is Aditya Akella. Specifically, I am interested in computer network and system, especially in programmable hardware, data center networks, big data system, and SmartNIC.
