Qian Ge is a research scientist at Google, applying data-driven methods to fleet-wide systems optimization with a focus on memory/CPU efficiency, tiered memory design, and C++ allocator improvements (TCMalloc). She blends over a decade of industry and academic experience, including a PhD from UNSW on principled elimination of microarchitectural timing channels through OS-enforced time protection and a formative period in the UNSW Trustworthy Systems group under Prof. Gernot Heiser. Her work spans low-level systems engineering and ML-driven optimization, turning theoretical insights into production-ready implementations. Prior to Google, she held software engineering roles at Google (2019–2021) and CSIRO Data61, with earlier industry experience at Huawei, giving a broad view of practical systems development. Based in Menlo Park, she brings a rigorous academic foundation from the University of Sydney and UNSW to bear on scalable, secure, and efficient software at scale.
