Short Bio

Min Zhao is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Pittsburgh. She received her B.S and M.S. from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 1996 and in 1999. Her research interests include static and dynamic program analysis, compilers, programming languages and software engineering tools. Her thesis research has focused on a long-standing problem about how to effectively apply code optimizations. She is taking a novel approach to develop a model-based framework for formally investigating the properties of code optimizations. She is working in Continuous Compilation research group, under the supervision of Dr. Mary Lou Soffa and Dr. Bruce R. Childers. In the year 2003, she received the Andrew Mellon Predoctoral Fellowship.
