Veronika Kitsul

I’m a first-year Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan, working with Muhammad Shahbaz on systems, networking, and architecture problems across the entire computing stack. I research both ML for systems and systems for ML.

I have earned my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering with minors in Chinese Language and Computer Science from Princeton University.

I’m excited about hardware-software co-design and computer systems. Topics include: wireless communications, networking hardware, computer networking, distributed computing paradigms, machine learning techniques, kernel bypassing modules like eBPF, semiconductors and solid-state devices, computing architectures and data center technologies.

Outside academics, I love creating with my hands: anything from traditional Ukrainian beaded jewelry and crocheting to VGA graphics card built on digital logic chips (see my projects page for more!). In the summer, I enjoy hiking and long-distance running. I have completed 3 half-marathons and one full marathon.

🇺🇦 I’m originally from Dolishnie Zaluchchia, Kolomyia district, Ivano-Frankivsk region (Долішнє Залуччя, Коломийського району, Івано-Франківської області), a small village in Western Ukraine, and my roots inspire my drive to learn, create, and make an impact.

大家好！我是苏若霓。目前我在密歇根大学读博士。我的研究跟机器学习、网络、计算机体系结构等等有关。我从普林斯顿大学毕业了。我的专业是电气与计算机工程，辅修汉语和计算机科学。2026年夏天我在中国度过了丰富多彩的两个月，提高了我的中文水平。我在北师大上了中文课。我来自乌克兰西部的一个小村庄。

我还有一个用普通话介绍乌克兰首都基辅的视频。看一看我的“projects”。
