Liwei Guo
Assistant Professor @ UESTC
I am now a tenure-track Assistant Professor at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in the school of Computer Science.
My research is in the intersection of OS x Arch x PL, under the umbrella of efficiency and security.
Prior to UESTC, I was lucky to be awarded Top Minds from Huawei, where I had a little dabble in industry.
I received my doctoral degree in 2022 from University of Virginia, advised by Prof. Felix Xiaozhu Lin and bachelor degree in 2016 from Sun Yat-sen University, advised by Prof. Zibin Zheng. Prior to UVA, I have spent amazing four years at Purdue University with awesome folks of XSEL in the School of Electric and Computer Engineering.
My past and ongoing projects span multiple aspects of kernel, including drivers that provide energy isolation, file systems that are highly secure on IoT devices, to dynamic binary translation that run a wimpy peripheral cores.

A Little Bit More
Besides research, I mostly enjoy:
- Playing video games which ignited my original passion for computers since I was six (Diamond in Legue of Legends, Platinum in Overwatch, Divine in Dota2). Check out my game clips here!
- Photography. I record my life by shooting photos. Check out my (awesome) photos here!
