Biography

I am currently a visiting researcher at Meta/Facebook AI Research (FAIR). Previously, I was a postdoc researcher at Stanford working with Dr. Chris Ré. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rice University under the supervision of Dr. Anshumali Shrivastava in 2020. I received my B.S. from University of California, Berkeley in 2015. My mentors were Dr. Sara Alspaugh, Dr. Kaifei Chen and my advisor was Dr. Randy Katz. My research focuses on large-scale machine learning. Specifically, I design and optimize randomized algorithms (algorithm-hardware co-design) to accelerate large machine learning systems for real-world problems.
