About Me

I work on high-performance AI systems through algorithm-architecture-chip co-design, with a focus on the computing and interconnect infrastructure behind modern AI.

I am a Ph.D. student in the ISCL Lab at Nanjing University, advised by Prof. Li Du and Associate Prof. Yuan Du. Before beginning my doctoral research, I worked on algorithm-hardware co-design. I welcome conversations and collaboration around efficient AI computing systems.

Building AI systems across three layers

My Ph.D. research is organized around three connected layers, from algorithms to architecture and system scale. These are forward-looking research directions and are separate from my master's publications below.

Algorithm

Efficient memory for generative AI

KV cache compression for LLM inference and reinforcement-learning rollout, targeting memory and data-movement bottlenecks while preserving model quality.

Architecture

Algorithm-architecture co-design

High-performance accelerator architectures derived from workload characteristics, with joint optimization across algorithms, dataflow, memory hierarchy, and hardware.

System

AI supernodes and interconnects

Compute and interconnect architectures for tightly coupled AI supernodes, exploring scalable communication and efficient collective execution.
