Welcome! I'm Yan Tong, a PhD student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, advised by Professor Lindsey Kuper in the LSD lab. I'm doing research on Distributed Systems and Programming Language.
Right now, I'm doing research on causality, also known as causal order, which is a crucial safety property in distributed systems. Specifically, I'm working on tweaking the buffer protocol to optimize message delivery and reduce unnecessary message delays, so the time between a message sending and the message delivery will be shortened.
I had an internship at Reality Labs at Meta during the summer of 2022, where I worked on an automated framework for their XR data systems.
