About

I am a first-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UC Santa Cruz working with José Renau in the MASC group. I received an MS in Computer Science from Cornell University in May 2025, where I was advised by Adrian Sampson in the Capra group. Prior to that, I received a BS in Computer Science and a BS in Environmental Engineering from Cornell University in May 2023, where I was advised by Fengqi You in the PEESE group. I also obtained a BE in Environmental Engineering in Zhejiang University.

I am interested in Computer Architecture and Compilers. At the UCSC MASC group, I'm working on developing AI hardware agents for chip design. At the Cornell Capra group, I worked on the CIRCT project, the Calyx project, and the Allo project to build an open-source high-level synthesis tool flow from PyTorch to FPGA to accelerate machine learning models. At the Cornell PEESE group, I worked on developing multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithms for demand response in smart cities.
