Zhiyuan Yao

PhD Student

After his studies on Aircraft Design and Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology, Zhiyuan Yao completed his MSc&T in Internet of Things at École Polytechnique, where he focused on computer networking and distributed systems. His Master’s research focused on applying machine learning techniques and distributed algorithms to resource allocation optimisation in data centre networks.

Zhiyuan did his PhD under the joint supervision of Mark Townsley (Cisco) and Thomas Clausen (École polytechnique).

Dr. Yao successfully defended his PhD on May 17, 2023 before a jury presided by prof. Erwan Le Pennec, and with as members Dr. Rémi Badonnel, Prof. Sara Bouchenak, Dr. Gaël Thomas, and Dr. Laércio Lima Pilla
