Rui Liu

I currently an NESAP Postdoctoral Fellow with the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), focusing on optimizing resource utilization in scientific workflows spanning NERSC and external facilities.

I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Chicago, where I was co-advised by Aaron J. Elmore and Michael J. Franklin, with close collaboration from Sanjay Krishnan. My research interests are grounded in data systems and bridge to other important areas. My current research centers on building and optimizing data-intensive systems for various applications, such as data science and artificial intelligence.

I was a research intern at the Gray Systems Lab of Microsoft, a data science intern at the AI Engineering Team of DocuSign, a research assistant at the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore, and a research assistant at the Department of Information Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Additionally, I was involved in the training program of AI for science on supercomputers at Argonne National Laboratory. Wonderful experience at these places!
