Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto

I am a second year Ph.D. student at University of Toronto, supervised by Professor Gennady Pekhimenko. I also received my master degree here. Before coming to UofT, I received my bachelor degree in computer science from Shanghai Jiao Tong University (at ACM Honors Class).

My research interests lie in the general area of systems for machine learning. Currently, I am focusing on the optimization for neural network training and inference through compilation.
