I'm a final-year Ph.D. candidate at UC San Diego. Previously, I received my bachelor degree in Electronic Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. My research focuses on large language model efficiency, including distributed training acceleration and algorithm–system co-design for scalable and efficient LLM applications. I'm honored to be recognized as the 2025 Machine Learning and Systems Rising Star.
