Biao Hou

Ph.D. Student

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate at Beijing Institute of Technology advised by Prof. Song Yang. Currently, I am also a visiting student at National University of Singapore advised by Prof. Richard T. B. Ma. I completed my M.Sc. and undergraduate at Inner Mongolia University in 2021, under Prof. Junxing Zhang’s advisor.

Research interests: networked systems. My research applies state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to drastically improve the performance and reliability of large-scale networked systems. My work bridges the gap between software and hardware, aiming to enhance video streaming system performance through innovative algorithm design.
