钱家熠 / ECE Ph.D. student

I work at the intersection of AI systems and computer architecture.

I'm a Ph.D. student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, working on efficient computing for emerging AI and AI-driven architecture and systems design.

Advised by Prof. Tushar Krishna and Prof. Zishen Wan .

A little curiosity goes a long way.

01 / Research interests

AI & systems.
In both directions.

I study how to make emerging AI efficient, and how AI can help us design better computing systems.

Sys/Arch for AI

Efficient Systems and Architectures for Emerging AI

System and architecture co-design for agentic, embodied, and neuro-symbolic AI: from serving and workload characterization to hardware acceleration.
