We are a research team of Data Science and Computer Science at the University of Virginia.
We research Data Systems for Data Science (DS2). Our aim is to explore and build better systems software to sustain the requirements of next-generation data-intensive applications.
We are interested in addressing challenges existing in real-world distributed and storage systems. Our research is driven by the complexities of modern data-intensive computer systems, and the need for more efficient and flexible approaches to manage such complexities. We aim for innovation in systems technologies that range from large-scale distributed systems to cross-layer software-hardware co-design.
Our current efforts are focused on: (1) LLM systems: making LLM applications elastic, scalable, and robust; (2) Serverless and FaaS: improving serverless computing using an end-to-end approach that cuts across the entire ecosystem stack, spanning applications, middleware, platforms, and low-level OS/HW; (3) Data reduction: rethinking data reduction techniques for large ML platforms like Hugging Face.
We are committed to training the next-gen of data systems researchers and developers. We are seeking Ph.D. students who are passionate about solving practical challenging problems in modern datacenter applications & systems. We are also open to working with Masters and undergrad students.
