Starting in June 2025, I will be working on a research project under the guidance of Professor Kefu Lu at Washington and Lee University. This project, titled "Algorithm Design in Online Scheduling", will focus on developing efficient algorithms to optimize task scheduling in distributed computing environments. I will be exploring advanced algorithmic concepts, including approximation algorithms to ensure near-optimal performance when exact solutions are computationally expensive, and studying how to allocate computational resources efficiently to maximize quality of service. The research will deepen my understanding of algorithm design, efficiency, and theoretical problem-solving while providing hands-on experience with real-world scheduling challenges in distributed systems. This project, which may lead to a publishable result, is an exciting opportunity to apply my computational skills to cutting-edge research while collaborating closely with Professor Lu and contributing to innovative solutions in computer science.
