PhD Student Department of Computer Science Stanford University Office: 464 Gates zgh23 [at] stanford [dot] edu Curriculum Vitae

I am a computer science PhD student at Stanford University advised by Professor Kunle Olukotun. I was also privileged to work with Professor Fredrik Kjolstad and Professor Azalia Mirhoseini.

Research: My research interests lie in better programming models and systems for domain-specific architectures. I am also interested in optimizing GPU kernels for emerging applications, including sparse and recurrent neural networks.

I graduated from Tsinghua University in 2023 with a bachelor degree in Eletronic Engineering. At Tsinghua, I was fortunate to do research at NICS-EFC Lab and IDEAL Lab.
