Zhiyao Ma is a Ph.D candidate in the department of computer science at Yale University. He is advised by Professor Lin Zhong, Ph.D. His research interests lie in the field of operating systems, specifically its design and implementation on resource-constrained platforms. His current focus is on building a microcontroller-based embedded system that provides memory safety without sacrificing memory efficiency. His future research will explore empowering a resource-limited computer, at OS level, with the aid of a resourceful computer connected over the network. Additionally, he is also interested in the broader fields of programming languages and compilers. Zhiyao enjoys driving on tracks at HPDE, currently in the intermediate run group, and holds a Kendo 3rd Dan rank.
