Lintao Zhang
RESEARCHER
.
I recently moved to Beijing to join MSR-Asia. Previously, I was a researcher at Microsoft Research Silicon Valley. I work on a diverse set of exciting projects on verification and logic, distributed systems, storage, computer architecture and reconfigurable computing.
My Ph.D. thesis can be downloaded here . My resume can be found here.
I prepared some material on SAT solving for a 3-day mini PhD course in IT-U of Copenhagen. If you want to learn about SAT solving, this should be a good starting point.
