About

I am a principal researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge in Future AI Infrastructure group. My current work is on ML-system co-design for LLM inference. We design innovative memory systems that exploit model sparsity, and they will guide future scaling of memory hardware. More recently, I am also working on microLED-based optical interconnects and their system design. Before that, I have been working on LLMs for digital hardware design, and FPGA-based hardware acceleration for cloud and AI infrastructure. In the past, I did my PhD study on high-level synthesis for reconfigurable computing at Imperial College London.
