UIUC Systems Research Seminar
Fall 2026

Tianyin is taking sabbatical this semester, so we do not have a regular seminar (and there is no 591 credit).
We do still organize ad hoc talks.

UIUC Systems Reading Group is a weekly meetup for anyone interested in systems research at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

We discuss recent significant work (e.g., published at top-tier conferences), critique each other's projects, and identify new research directions/ideas.

Join us on Slack: uiuc-sysnet.slack.com
