About me

I am a 5th-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

I am co-advised by Prof. Sasa Misailovic and Prof. Vikram S. Adve.

My research interest is in compilers and programming systems for tensor programs. Compilers are an unique vehicle for a myriad of intriguing program optimizations:

• Tensor compilers feature specific optimizations (loop nest optimizations, polyhedral model, …) that are highly effective to tensor programs;
• Accuracy-aware optimizations won’t even preserve your program’s semantics, but they carefully reason about how much havoc they wreak and can be alike beneficial for tensor programs (pruning, quantization).
• Of course general purpose optimizations are not going away: DCE, CSE, LICM, …

Together they present a tough challenge (and opportunity!) of choosing the right optimizations to apply to a given tensor program. See my recent projects and CV for more details.
