I’m a Computer Science Ph.D. student at the University of California Irvine, specializing in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning Systems (MLSys). My current research focuses on developing ML algorithms for System Optimization and designing efficient Systems for ML and NLP applications, specifically tailored for limited-resource settings. My detailed research and work experience are shown in my CV. If you are interested in my past works and would like to work with me, feel free to contact me via email 🙂
