Biography
I'm Jinyang Liu, a 5th-year PhD candidate in the computer science major at the University of California, Riverside. Prior to that, I received my Master's degree in Data Science from Peking University in 2019 and received my B.S. degree in Math and Applied Math from Peking University in 2016. During my Ph.D. studies, I have been working as a long-term research intern in the ECP-EZ project at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) and my research field is scientific data lossy compression frameworks and algorithms, including traditional methods and Deep-learning-based methods. In my master's studies, I've worked on the topic of deep-learning-based analysis and auto-completion of programming codes.
Besides my finished research projects, I also have interests broadly in the areas of high-performance computing, large-scale scientific data management and reduction, and deep learning (in HPC applications). I have presented publications in various highly prestigious conferences and journals such as ACM SIGMOD, IEEE/ACM SC, ACM ICS, IEEE IPDPS, IEEE BigData, IEEE Cluster, IEEE TPDS, etc. I have received the Dissertation Year Fellowship (DYP) award from UCR and a Best Paper Finalist from ACM ICS 23'. During my working at ANL, based on the SZ compressor, I have developed several different scientific data error-bounded lossy compressors, namely AE-SZ, QoZ, FAZ, and cuSZ-I.
I will join the department of Computer Science at the University of Houston as a tenure-track assistant professor, and am seeking for several Ph. D. students to study under my advisory starting from Fall 2024 (only for those who have submitted the applications to UH CS) or Spring 2025. My full CV is at: My CV.
