Short Bio
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Cornell University, advised by Prof. Chris De Sa. I am broadly interested in building scalable, provably correct and ubiquitous machine learning systems. My projects have touched on model compression, communication compression, decentralized/distributed ML, sample ordering, etc.
My work has been recognized by ICML Outstanding Paper Award (Honorable Mention) and Meta PhD Fellowship. I've also worked/interned at Microsoft DeepSpeed, Google Cerebra and Amazon Forecast.
I obtained my BEng degree in Electronic Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
I'm currently looking for full-time jobs in both academia and industry, please reach out!
