Xiang (Jenny) Ren

I am an assistant professor at the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University.

I received my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto, where I was advised by Ding Yuan. I received my M.A.Sc. and B.A.Sc. with Honours from the same department.

I’m interested in improving the performance and reliability of software systems. My CV is available here.
