Man Cao

I am a software engineer in the Java Platform Team at Google. My current work focuses on garbage collection in HotSpot JVM, JVM tuning and performance analysis, and Java TSAN.

Before joining Google, I received my Ph.D. in May, 2017 from Ohio State University. My adviser was Prof. Michael Bond. My research interests were software and runtime systems, in particular dynamic analysis of concurrent programs. Prior to OSU, I received my B.E. in computer science from Zhejiang University, China.
