Research Experience
  • Current research involves building scalable systems for ML practitioners that will fulfill the Sky Computing vision. This includes virtualizing GPUs to scale DL training to trillions of parameters and designing learnable scheduling policies for migrating jobs across different clouds (including on-premise). Master's and undergraduate research primarily focused on practical problems and applications for reinforcement learning (RL), including NLP, query optimization for databases, and video streaming.
Education
  • PhD, UC Berkeley EECS, advised by Prof. Ion Stoica; M.S. in EECS under Ion Stoica and Ken Goldberg, graduated in 2021; B.S. from UC Berkeley, double major in EECS and Business Administration, graduated in 2020.
Background
  • Research interests are in Artificial Intelligence and Systems. Associated with SkyLab and Berkeley Artificial Intelligence Research (BAIR).
Miscellany
  • Personal interests and other information not provided
