Short Bio
I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at NYU Shanghai, where I lead the HeavyBall Research group. I am also affiliated with the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University.
Previously, I was a Research Engineer at Together AI, contributing to the development of inference engines and GPU kernels for large language and vision-language model serving. Before that, I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University, advised by Chris De Sa.
I am currently looking for Ph.D. students and Research Assistants to join my group! If you are interested in any of the following areas, please reach out with your CV:
Efficient training and inference algorithms for foundation models.
Hardware/software co-design for efficient modeling.
High-performance GPU kernels for modern AI workloads.
Large-scale AI application systems (e.g., Agent frameworks, RAG systems).
If you are interested in working with me, this Q&A might be helpful.
Honors and Awards
Meta Ph.D. Fellowship, class of 2022.
