I am a fifth-year PhD student at ETH Zurich, where I am fortunate to be advised by Gustavo Alonso and Torsten Hoefler. Before joining the Systems Group at ETH Zurich, I earned my Master’s degree from Columbia University and my Bachelor’s degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, both with honors. I have been recognized as one of the ML and Systems Rising Stars and received the AMD HACC Outstanding Researcher Award.
I work on systems for machine learning, with research spanning the boundaries of data management, computer systems, and computer architecture. Rather than focusing on a single layer of the stack, I work across algorithms, systems, and hardware, because the increasing complexity of future machine learning (ML) systems necessitates cross-stack efforts. My research has pioneered several important topics in machine learning systems, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and recommender systems.
