Chaofan Lin (林超凡)

I'm a Ph.D. student in Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences (IIIS), Tsinghua University advised by Prof. Mingyu Gao.

Previously I received my my B.Eng. in Computer Science from ACM Honors Class, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. During my undergraduate years, I had a wonderful time working with Yuqing Yang @ System Group of Microsoft Research Asia, focusing on LLM serving; and Tianqi Chen @ Apache TVM community, doing research on Deep Learning Compilers. Please check out my CV if interested.

I go by `SiriusNEO` on most websites. And I usually use `Chaos` as a variant of my real name.

Research

My research interest mainly lies in computer systems and architecture, specially in optimizing machine learning (MLSys) and other data intensive applications. My long-term research goal is to make powerful AI accessible to everyone. You can check my [Publications] / [Projects] for details.

Parrot: Serving system for LLM applications (Pulished in OSDI'24).
Relax-Training: Training NNs (ResNet, LLM...) on device using Relax IR of the deep learning compiler TVM (Talk @ TVMCon'23 | PRs).
