Yuchen You

Seeking MS/PhD (Fall 2026) in Distributed Systems, Operating Systems, and Networking.

Hi! I’m Yuchen (CS @ UMich, ME @ SJTU). At UMich Order Lab I’m building an agent-based auto-mitigation loop for distributed systems—reproduce → measure → decide → mitigate—on ZooKeeper/HDFS with Prometheus SLOs, HAProxy/Resilience4j, and Chaos faults.

From embedded/robotics to systems. Previously I shipped STM32/C++/Rust control stacks with interrupt-driven concurrency, deterministic scheduling, and reliable fieldbus (CAN/I²C). That discipline now powers my work on threads/VM/NFS, network fault emulation, and SLO-driven recovery.

Research Focus

  • Distributed systems: failure reproduction & auto-mitigation; SLO-based observability
  • Operating systems: concurrency; VM/paging; interface hardening
  • Networking: dependable protocols; load shedding/failover; fault emulation
  • Agentic DS Ops (ZooKeeper/HDFS): automated loop → project
  • OS (EECS 482): threads, COW+clock pager, Unix-style NFS → projects
  • Soft Robotic Arm (ICRA 2025 Workshop Best Poster) → projects
