Dr. Zhang\u2019s research mainly focuses on the resource management in soft real-time systems, virtual machine systems, and Internet end-systems, though her interest spreads to all areas of computer systems and networks. Conducted through both theoretic analysis and empirical evaluation, her research has resulted in publication in more than a dozen conference proceedings and journals. Zhang served as an assistant professor at Merrimack College, Wentworth Institute of Technology, Allegheny College, and University of Science and Technology Beijing. She has taught a variety of courses, including information technology, Java\/C++\/C programming, operating systems, computer networks, analysis of algorithms, software engineering, programming languages, and a research seminar.\u00a0View Dr. Zhang\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n
