Benjamin Reidys
About Me
My name is Benjamin Reidys. I am a 4th year Ph.D. student at the Computer Science Department of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working with Professor Jian Huang as a member of the Systems Platform Research Group. Before starting my Ph.D., I studied Computer Science and Mathematics at Virginia Tech.
Primarily, my research uses techniques from Operating Systems, Networking, and some Machine Learning to improve the performance and usability of Memory and Storage Systems. Currently, I am focused on improving software-defined data centers through network/storage co-design. You can find my full CV here.
