Huanchen Zhang
I am an Assistant Professor in the IIIS (Yao Class) at Tsinghua University. My research interest is in database management systems. I have particular interests in indexing/filtering data structures, data compression, and cloud databases. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. Before joining Tsinghua, I worked at Snowflake as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
