Yi Zou
Summary
👤
SeniorYi Zou is a Staff Research Scientist with 26 years of experience building high-performance, distributed storage and converged networking systems at Intel and beyond. He specializes in large-scale architectures for hyper-converged and disaggregated storage, heterogeneous media and NVMe/NVMeoF interconnects, and intelligent workload analytics for multi-tenant cloud environments. Yi pairs deep kernel and driver expertise (Linux/Windows, ixgbe/FCoE, RDMA/iSCSI) with data-platform skills across Ceph, Hadoop/Spark and real-time video analytics, enabling end-to-end storage solutions from hardware offload to cloud services. He has a proven track record upstreaming kernel storage features and advancing Intel’s 10G/40G FCoE stacks, and his open-source contributions reflect a focus on storage performance and network offload. Holding a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, he combines rigorous research with pragmatic system design and a history of solving low-level bottlenecks that unlock large-scale data processing.
