Shihan Fang

I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science and Technology from the Zhiyuan Honors Program ACM Class at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Previously, I was a research intern with the Zhang Research Group in the Computer Systems Laboratory at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Zhiru Zhang. I was also fortunate to work with Prof. Jingwen Leng at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

My research interests broadly span compilers, computer architecture, and programming languages, with a particular focus on compilers for accelerators, including accelerator programming and design.

I am an incoming CS Ph.D. student at Cornell. If you are interested in my research, please feel free to contact me at sf668@cornell.edu!
