Soramichi Akiyama (穐山 空道)

CV DBLP

I am a researcher at Artificial Intelligence Research Center, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. I finished my bachelors at Kyoto University in 2010 and received a Ph.D. from Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo in 2015. My past work includes achieving greener cloud by improving underlying virtualization techniques and data center networkfor large scale container deployment (see the projects page for the details), and I am currently working on how to execute AI workloads efficiently with as little programmer effort as possible.
