Chaofan Lin (in Chinese: 林超凡)
I'm an undergraduate at
ACM Honors Class,
Shanghai Jiao Tong University,
advised by
Prof. Yong Yu.
Now I'm very fortunate to work with
Yuqing Yang
in the System Group of
Microsoft Research Asia.
Previously I'm a research intern at
Apache TVM community, working closely with
Tianqi Chen and
focusing on the
design of relax (a
graph-level IR for tvm)
training workflow.
My research interest mainly lies in computer systems and architecture. I enjoy crafting systems and/or exploring efficient algorithms to bridge the gap between efficiency (low-level) and usability (user-side).
I believe there is no silver bullet in designing and architecting. Hence there is no perfect solution for all ad-hoc reallife problems. However, I will try my best to narrow the gap between theory and practice, hoping that one day everyone can appreciate and benefit from those great ideas in Computer Science.

Miscellaneous
- I am also an amateur math & programming language enthusiast.
- My Chinese name "Chaofan (超凡)" stands for "superordinary". Some friends call me "Chaos" as a nickname.
- I have been playing Pokémon since I was eight years old. I didn't own a GBA at that time, so I used a PC simulator, where I encountered programming in my first time.
- The style of this homepage is inspired by my Logic teacher, Yijia Chen.
