Xipeng Shen ( )

has been an assistant professor at the Computer Science Department, the College of William and Mary since 2006. His main research lies in the area of Compiler Technology and Programming Systems, with the emphasis on integrating automatic learning, adaptation, and evolvement into different computing layers (programming systems, virtual machines, operating systems, architecture) to form a whole-system synergy.
