Professor Harry Xu’s Research

I am an assistant professor in the computer science department of University of California, Irvine. I am also affiliated with the software engineering graduate program at UCI.

My general research interests range from software engineering, through programming languages and compilers, to runtime/distributed systems. I am particularly interested in developing techniques to improve performance/scalability of various kinds of software systems.
