I’m Jiaxin Lin, I am joining the ECE department at Cornell University in Fall 2025 as an assistant professor.
I am currently a CS PhD student at the University of Texas at Austin. I am part of the University of Texas Networked Systems (UTNS) Lab. I am broadly interested networked systems, including in programmable network devices, next-generation interconnects, and systems for cloud computing.
I was a recipient of 2024 MIT EECS Rising Star, 2023 Google Ph.D. Fellowship and 2021 Meta Ph.D. Fellowship.

📌I am actively looking for self-motivated Ph.D. students in CS or ECE who are interested in networking, systems, architecture, or compilers. If you are interested in any of these areas, please reach out via email!
