About

I am a Senior Researcher at Huawei Hong Kong Research Center (2012 Laboratories), working on efficient LLM inference and AI systems. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, in two and a half years, and received the Presidential Award for Outstanding Doctoral Students. I earned dual M.Sc. degrees in Multicore Systems from Eindhoven University of Technology and Technische Universität Berlin with an EIT Scholarship. I received my B.Eng. from the School of Optical and Electronic Information at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, during which I studied at RWTH Aachen University as an exchange student funded by the China Scholarship Council.

My research centers on efficient AI architectures and systems, with a particular focus on the co-design of algorithms, systems, and hardware.
