Dr. Bo Zhao

Summary

I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London, working in the Large-Scale Data & Systems (LSDS) group with Prof. Peter Pietzuch. I conduct research of efficient data-intensive systems at the intersection of scalable reinforcement learning systems and distributed data management systems, as well as compilation-based optimisation techniques. 

My long-term goal is to explore and understand the fundamental connections between data management and modern machine learning systems to make decision-making transparent, robust and efficient.

Before joining Imperial, I was a research assistant (link) and obtained my PhD in the Databases and Information Systems Group at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, supervised by Prof. Matthias Weidlich.
