Biography
Since 2023, Dr. Dongfang Zhao has been a tenure-track assistant professor of computer science at the University of Washington (UW),
where he is affiliated with the
Tacoma SET
and the
eScience Institute.
Prior to joining UW, he was a visiting professor at
UC Davis
and a postdoctoral researcher at
UW CSE.
Before relocating to the U.S., Dr. Zhao worked on low-power electronics at
IMEC and
studied mathematical statistics at
KU Leuven, Belgium.
