I am on the job market for research and engineering roles in industry.
I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Northwestern University, advised by Prof. Aleksandar Kuzmanovic. My research focuses on low-latency, cross-layer optimization of networking systems, emphasizing deployable designs under real-world Internet constraints. I design protocols that bridge traditionally decoupled layers and build high-performance systems that preserve Internet semantics while adapting to evolving workloads. These systems leverage technologies such as DPDK, eBPF, P4, and QUIC, and are deployed across edge, serverless, and data center environments. My work has appeared in top-tier venues including ICNP, TOCS, EuroSys, SoCC, and MobiCom.
My name “Sen Lin” (森林) literally means forest in Chinese—a recursion: Lin in a Lin.
Coincidentally, “Sen” also means “dream” in Polish—an accidental cross-cultural poem.
Born with a rare congenital condition that makes my joints a bit stubborn—perhaps why I enjoy debugging stubborn systems.
