Next-generation cloud computing and AI are mutually reinforcing engines for the digital economy. Cloud provides the scalable, accessible foundation enabling AI development and deployment, while AI drives demand for advanced cloud capabilities. However, challenges exist: AI techniques (often from CV/NLP) face overhead and performance issues in network optimization, and cloud infrastructure lacks inherent AI-specific optimization. This research focuses on revitalizing both cloud networks and AI techniques through their judicious integration to overcome these challenges.
My general research area is Software Engineering. In particular, my main research focuses on improving (AI) software performance and developing fast and efficient software in fast-paced development and release practices (e.g., DevOps). My detailed research interests include software performance engineering, web GUI testing, and AI software system quality.
I am currently seeking highly self-motivated Ph.D. and Master's students (fully funded) to work with me. More details can be found on my research page https://www.cs.mun.ca/~lliao.
