Yue Cheng holds a dual appointment as an Assistant Professor in the School of Data Science and in the Department of Computer Science. His research interests include distributed systems, cloud and serverless computing, high-performance computing, and operating systems. His research is driven by the complexities of modern data-intensive computer systems, and the need for more efficient and easy-to-use approaches to manage such complexities.

Cheng's current research focuses on designing efficient data systems for data science. Specifically, he is currently working on: (1) designing efficient stateful serverless computing systems using a full-stack approach spanning applications, platforms, and operating systems/hardware, and (2) building better computing and storage systems for distributed machine learning. 

Prior to joining UVA, Cheng was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at George Mason University. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Virginia Tech, and a B.Eng in Computer Science from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in China.
