I am a second year ECE Ph.D. candidate advised by Prof. Jian Huang at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. As a member of the Systems Platform Research Group, my research primarily focuses on the ML Accelerator Architectures and the System/Compiler Supports for ML Acceleration. Specifically, I am interested in improving the performance of ML accelerators by using a combination of compiler optimizations and other techniques.

Prior to my Ph.D. studies, I graduated as a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering from UIUC with Highest Honor.
