Biography
Update: I have submitted my PhD thesis and now waiting for final viva (final defense)
I am a final year PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge. I received my Bachelor Degree in Computer Science from King's College London in 2020. I also spent a year at ETH Zurich for MSc but withdrawn and come to Cambridge for PhD in 2021. I am also CCIE certified in Routing and Switching (with some knowledge in Data Center and Security).
My name in Chinese is 梁燚磊
