About Me
I’m a 5th-year PhD candidate in the EECS Department at MIT, advised by Prof. Manya Ghobadi. My research focuses on: 1) building scalable infrastructure and systems for AI/ML; 2) adapting LLMs for systems design. I am a recipient of Microsoft Research PhD Fellowship and MIT Presidential Fellowship
Prior to joining MIT, I received my bachelor’s degree from Fudan University and master’s degree from Carnegie Mellon University. During my master, I was advised by Prof. Vyas Sekar.
I am actively exploring full-time industry opportunities.
