Bio
Academic Webpage (moved to here)
Hongyu Hè \ˈho:nˌu hə\ is a Master’s student and Direct Doctoral Scholar in Computer Science (CS) at ETH Zurich, where he works with Prof. Gustavo Alonso in the Systems Group and focuses on FPGA research. Hongyu is also an Associated Researcher at ETH AI Center. Advised by Prof. Theodoros Rekatsinas, he worked on efficient machine learning systems. Hongyu also had the pleasure to work with Prof. Ana Klimovic on serverless computing. Outside ETH, he has been collaborating with Prof. Christina Delimitrou (MIT) and Dr. Sameh Elnikety (Microsoft) on serverless workflows and Harvest VMs. Before joining ETH, Hongyu studied CS and mathematics at VU and UvA in the Netherlands, where he was led into systems research by Prof. Cristiano Giuffrida and Prof. Andy Tanenbaum. He achieved the highest GPA among his cohort and received the ADS Thesis Award in 2021. In Amsterdam, Hongyu conducted research on Knowledge Graphs (KGs) with Prof. Jacopo Urbani and on datacenter simulation with Prof. Alexandru Iosup. At Elsevier Discovery Lab, he worked with Prof. Michael Cochez as a Research Assistant in 2020 on augmenting KGs with user queries. In 2019, he was ranked as one of the top-10 CS students in the Netherlands by the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities. Prior to moving to the Netherlands, Hongyu was in Law School back in China, but ultimately decided on pursuing science and engineering instead.

What’s More …
I’m crazy about doing all kinds of sports 🏀 🏃 🏓 🏊 🧘 🎳 🏸 ♟️, and I started violin at age eight 🎻. Also, I love learning new languages, and currently, I’m tackling German (~B1 level).
I love my mom more than anything in the world combined ❤️👩.
