San Diego, California

I am a third-year Ph.D. advised by Prof. Jishen Zhao in Computer Science and Engineering Department of UC San Diego, starting in 2022. I am now aiming to build efficient systems for machine learning. Before coming to UCSD, I received my B.E. degree from the Department of Electronic Engineering at Tsinghua University. I have a broad interest in combining machine learning and computer systems, with a special focus on the interaction between ML and System. I have previously focused on more acceleration for sparse computing and devoted myself to some open-source projects like dgSPARSE and CogDL. Now I am working on agent framework that could help design better system, especially moving to MLsys self-evolution. Some topics that I have been working on are listed below:

LLM Agent System for MLSys
Evolving ML and System
Autonomous Software Engineering

Feel free to contact me if you share any common interests.
