Bio
I am a first-year Ph.D. student of Computer Science at NYU Courant, advised by Prof. Jinyang Li and Prof. Aurojit Panda. My research interest is in machine learning systems, with a current focus on distributed machine learning. I am dedicated to identifying emerging and promising ML methods and building systems to support them. Previously, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in 2023 from Honored Yao Class, Tsinghua University. I was a Research Assistant at MBZUAI advised by Prof. Eric Xing and Prof. Hao Zhang in Spring 2022.
News
- I've accepted an internship with the Microsoft DeepSpeed Team and will be in Seattle from May 27th to August 28th. Let's talk in person if you're interested and in the area then!
