About

I am a second-year PhD student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at UC Santa Cruz, where I work with José Renau in the MASC group.

I received an MS in Computer Science from Cornell University in May 2025. At Cornell, I was advised by Adrian Sampson in the Capra group.

In May 2023, I received a BS in Computer Science and a BS in Environmental Engineering from Cornell University, where I was advised by Fengqi You in the PEESE group. I also earned a BE in Environmental Engineering in Zhejiang University.

My research interests include Computer Architecture, Compilers, Electronic Design Automation, and AI agents. At the UCSC MASC group, I'm developing an agentic system for chip design that integrate AI methods with efficient EDA tools and workflows. 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 ML models. At the Cornell PEESE group, I worked on developing multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithms for demand response in smart cities.

I have also contributed to an industry chip tapeout.
