About
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, where I lead the EcoAI Lab, focused on efficient AI systems through algorithm-hardware co-design, spanning both hardware-aware AI algorithms and hardware accelerators tailored for those algorithms. I received my Ph.D. from Georgia Tech and was a Research Scientist at Adobe. Our work addresses the growing systems challenges posed by advanced AI/ML models, such as large language and vision models, enabling AI on resource-constrained edge devices and improving scalability on cloud platforms.
