Lipeng Wan

Dr. Lipeng Wan is a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Georgia State University (GSU), located at 25 Park Place, room 733. He holds a B.Eng. in Communication Engineering from Nanjing University of Science and Technology (2008), an M.Eng. in Information and Communication Engineering from Southeast University (2011), and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (2016). Prior to joining GSU, he served as a Computer Scientist at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), first as a postdoctoral researcher (2016–2018) and later as a full-time research staff member (2018–202?).

His research focuses on big data management and analytics, high-performance and data-intensive computing, and resilience and performance optimization for distributed systems. Key interests include scientific data workflows, I/O innovations for exascale systems, and error-controlled data compression frameworks like MGARD and HPDR.

Dr. Wan’s recent work emphasizes adaptive data transmission (e.g., JANUS), load balancing in cloud environments (SciLance), and optimizing file access patterns on HPC systems. His publications address challenges in exascale computing, including I/O performance, geographically distributed data management, and feature-preserving compression for climate simulations.

He leads research at GSU in collaboration with national labs like ORNL, focusing on advancing scalable data management techniques for high-performance computing applications.
