Yuqi Xiang

I am a master student at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Information Networking, with a system focus. Previously, I got my bachelor degree from Kuang Yaming Honors School, Nanjing University with GPA ranking 1/115.

Previously, I was a visiting student researcher at Mechanical Systems Control Lab, UC Berkeley , advised by Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka. I was fortunate to work with Dr. Wei Zhan and Dr. Mingyu Ding. I was an exchange student at University of Pennsylvania during my undergrad. I was also honored to work with Prof. Lin Shao.

I am actively seeking for 2025 summer internship opportunities in the field of software development. I am interested in distributed systems, databases, storage systems, operating systems, and networking. I am also open to other opportunities.
