About Me

Hi! I’m Tzu-Tao (Tommy) Chang (張子濤). I’m a 3rd-year CS Ph.D. student at UW-Madison, advised by Prof. Shivaram Venkataraman. My research interests lie in ML systems, cloud systems, and cluster scheduling.

Before joining UW-Madison, I received my B.A. in Finance and minor in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Taiwan University, where I was advised by Prof. Chung-Wei Lin.

I have a lovely dog named Coffee :)
