Xi (Chase) Jiang

πŸ‘‹ Hi, I'm Chase (Xi) Jiang

Ph.D. Student in Computer Science at University of Chicago

Pioneering synthetic data generation, ML-driven network systems, and building next-gen startups

About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Chicago, advised by Prof. Nick Feamster. I also received my B.S. in both Computer Science and Economics from Colgate University, advised by Prof. Aaron Gember Jacobson.

My research focuses on synthetic data generation, ML-driven network traffic modeling, and real-time data systems. I have published in top-tier venues including SIGMETRICS, KDD, WWW, and CoNEXT.

Beyond research, I am an entrepreneur and co-founder of multiple startups pushing the boundaries of brain-machine interfaces and AI-driven social applications.
