Song Jiang

Song Jiang recieved his PhD from the Department of Computer Science at the College of William and Mary. He is now an assistant professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Wayne State University. His research interests include operating system, file and storage system, fault tolerance in parallel systems, and distributed systems. The algorithms he designed on kernel memory management and storage system have been adopted in many mainstream systems, including Linux, NetBSD, and MySQL.
