I am a first-year PhD student at University of Chicago, fortunately advised by prof Ce Zhang. I finished my master study in CS at ETH Zurich. During the master’s, I took a gap year at Meta AI working as an AI resident on LLMs and 3D computer vision. I was very fortunate to work with many talented folks and be supervised by Barlas Oğuz, Mike Lewis, and Gabriel Synnaeve. Before the master’s, I spent a year working on building search engines at ByteDance as a MLE. I graduated from NYU with honors in CS and was awarded with Prize for Outstanding Performance in CS.
With my previous works on CodeLlama and Llama 2 Long, I become very interested in AI systems, specially in developing efficient algorithms and systems for large-scale training and inference. I’m intrigued by how we could improve model alignment and understand the science behind these foundation models.

I was first trained as a game designer at NYU Game Center during my undergrad and became increasingly more interested in CS and AI. Despite that, I’m still very interested in game dev, physically-based rendering, and game AI.
During my free time, I enjoy playing chess (my favorite live-stream), electric guitars (my favorite instrumental band), and recently got obsessed with golf (a group of chilled golfers).
