Chuqi Zhang
Ph.D. Candidate @ NUS
My research focuses on the design of system software, spanning OS, hypervisor, and trusted execution environment (TEEs). I aim to build observable and trustworthy foundations for cloud infrastructure, such as SaaS, FaaS, and agentic AI platforms.
Currently, I work on enhancing confidential computing architectures, particularly confidential virtual machines (CVMs) and also user-land library operating systems (LibOS). My goal is to extend CVM isolation for sandboxes and confidential containers, improving the security, reliability, and efficiency of cloud infrastructures and AI code agents.
I’m looking for industrial work opportunities! Please find my CV here.
