Gao Chuanchao

I am a Ph.D. student in the College of Computing and Data Science at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, supervised by Prof. Arvind Easwaran. I am a member of the Cyber-Physical Systems Research Group at NTU.

My research focuses on algorithmic foundations for heterogeneous resource allocation and scheduling, with an emphasis on combinatorial optimization and approximation algorithms motivated by real-time and distributed systems.

I am particularly interested in heterogeneous resource scheduling and network-integrated computing systems, with a focus on developing provable, mathematically grounded algorithms that bridge theory and practice.
