Prof Ce Zhang is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at ETH Zurich. He believes that by making data—along with the processing of data—easily accessible to non-expert users, we have the potential to make the world a better place. His current research focuses on building data systems to support machine learning and to help facilitate other sciences. Before joining ETH, Prof Zhang was advised by Christopher Ré. He finished his PhD round-tripping between the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Stanford University in the USA, and he spent another year as a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford. He contributed to the research efforts that won the SIGMOD Best Paper Award and the SIGMOD Research Highlight Award, and he has featured in special issues of journals including Science, Communications of the ACM, the “Best Papers of VLDB 2015” special issue of The VLDB Journal and Nature. His work has also been reported by The Atlantic, WIRED, Quanta Magazine, The Verge and others. |
