Hello all, I'm a Ph.D. student at UT Austin, co-advised by Prof. Aditya Akella, and Prof. Vijay Chidambaram. I closely work with Prof. Atlas Wang. My research focuses on AI algorithm-system co-design for scaling out ML training and inference. I did research internships at HP Labs and Meta during my Ph.D study. Recently, Ruisi and I were selected as finalists for the 2024 Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship.
Prior to joining UT, I studied computer architecture at KAIST under the guidance of Prof. John Kim. I worked at Samsung Research On-device Lab on NPU design and model optimization for edge AI.
