I am Xusheng Chen, a research scientist at Huawei Cloud. I received my Ph.D. degree from the University of Hong Kong, supervised by Dr. Heming Cui. My research focuses distributed consensus protocols, fault tolerance systems, distributed transaction processing systems, and blockchain systems.

My research interests also include building highly-efficient distributed systems leveraging datacenter networking hardware (e.g., RDMA) and building secure distributed systems leveraging hardware trusted execution environments (e.g., Intel SGX).

Before my current program, I received Bachelor of Engineering degree from the University of Hong Kong with first class honour. I also enjoyed a wonderful exchange program at UCSD during my undergraduate study.

I am from Shenyang, a beautiful city in northeast China.
