About Me

I am currently a reserarch scientist at Meta. I completed my Ph.D. degree at Northeastern University advised by Professor Yanzhi Wang. My research interests include deep learning accelerator architecture, high performance computing, domain-specific architecture and efficient deep learning systems.
