๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸŽ“ Biography

I am a third-year undergraduate student in the Department of Automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU) ๐Ÿšข. I maintain an academic record with a GPA of $\text{3.9/4.3}$, ranking $\text{15th}$ out of $\text{100}$ students. ๐Ÿ“Š

Currently, I am conducting research as a student researcher in Professor Yulun Zhangโ€™s lab, focusing on the critical and evolving field of Efficient AI ๐Ÿ’ก. My research interests center on techniques to enhance the performance and accessibility of large-scale models, specifically through:

  • Model Compression and Quantization ๐Ÿ’พ
  • Accelerated Diffusion Models ๐Ÿš€
  • Efficient Sampling Methods for Large Language Models (LLMs) ๐Ÿง 

I am passionate about exploring methods to build powerful yet resource-conscious AI systems that push the boundaries of computational efficiency. โšก
