Greetings! I’m a Ph.D. student at Siebel School of Computing and Data Science in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, advised by Prof. Fan Lai.

I received my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology, where I am very fortunate to work with Prof. Tuo Zhao. I am also very fortunate to spend a wonderful summer with Dr. Yu Gan and Prof. Fan Lai as a student researcher in Systems Research@Google in summer 2024.

My research interests lie in building efficient systems for supporting large language models and GenAI.
