Xiang Ni is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is interested in developing runtime system techniques for scalable parallel executions on supercomputers. Performance optimization of irregular applications and application oblivious fault tolerance are her primary areas of research. At Illinois, she is part of the Parallel Programming Laboratory which develops Charm++ and its applications. She has closely worked with researchers from Disney Research on developing a first of its kind parallel software for Cloth Simulation. She has also done two summer internships at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Xiang got her master’s degree at Illinois in 2012 for her work on asynchronous protocols for low overhead checkpointing. Prior to that she got a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Beihang University in Beijing, China.
