Jiayi Qian (钱家熠)

I'm now a first-year ECE Ph.D. student in Synergy Lab at Georgia Institute of Technology, advised by Prof. Tushar Krishna on Efficient Compositional AI systems and ML Accelerator Design.

Prior to that, I obtained my M.S. degree in Computer Science, also from Georgia Institute of Technology, where I worked closely with Prof. Yingyan (Celine) Lin on efficient ML algorithms. I received my Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University, advised by Prof. Gang Liu on visual SLAM.
