Research Experience
Currently an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and a Research Scientist at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (Ai2). Creator and maintainer of bitsandbytes. Research areas include developing the next generation of AI methods and models, particularly agents; making these AI methods and models accessible through research (QLoRA, LLM.int8(), k-bit inference scaling laws, Petals, SWARM) and by developing software (bitsandbytes) that makes it easy to use these research innovations.
