Shihan Fang

I am a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Zhiru Zhang.

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

My research interests broadly span compilers, computer architecture, and programming languages. If you are interested in my research, please feel free to contact me at shihan@cs.cornell.edu!
