Ao Wang (王骜)

I was a Ph.D. student from the Computer Science Department at George Mason University, where I work with Dr. Yue Cheng at LeapLab.

I earned an M.S. degree from the Computer Science Department of George Washington University.

My research interest focuses on Serverless computing, Serverless GPU, Cloud Computing and Cloud Storage.
