Ye YANG graduated from the Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ICT, CAS) in 2022, and was awarded Ph.D. degree under the co-supervision of both the ICT, CAS (advised by Prof. Gaogang Xie) and Sorbonne University (advised by Prof. Serge Fdida, in France).

After graduation, he joined Luoshen Cloud Network Department of Alibaba Cloud to engage in R&D for virtual network architecture and also commit to the academic research. During the period of 2022-2024, he conducted research on “high-performance vSwitch for large-scale cloud networks” at the joint postdoctoral workstation of Alibaba and Zhejiang University. His research areas include software defined networks, network virtualization, software-hardware co-design, etc. He is actively seeking cooperation with the academic community to solve real problems in the production environments.
