I am Xueyuan, a 5th-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Yale University.

My research interests mainly lie in the area of parallel and distributed computing, and the various applications.

My advisor is Prof. Michael J. Fischer. My supervisory committee also include Prof. Dana Angluin, Prof. James Aspnes, Prof. Avi Silberschatz, and Prof. Michael Mitzenmacher from Harvard.

I believe that "Theory is not useless, and practice is not trivial" .
