Welcome!
My name is Ching-Hsiang Chu
I was born in a beautiful country Taiwan. I am a Research Scientist in Meta (formally Facebook) since August 2020. Prior to it, I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University (OSU CSE). During my Ph.D., I was a member of Network-based Computing Lab (NOWLAB) led by Prof. D. K. Panda. I received my B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Changhua University of Education (NCUE, Taiwan) in 2010 and National Central University (NCU, Taiwan) in 2012, respectively. Please find my CV here to learn more.
