Hi, I’m Yusen Wu (吓宇森).
I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Virginia (UVA), advised by Prof. Yue Cheng.

My research focuses on machine learning systems, distributed systems, and cloud computing.
I am broadly interested in building better systems for machine learning applications, with a particular focus on improving efficiency and scalability. This includes exploring techniques for both training and serving large models, as well as designing computing and storage systems that better support distributed ML workloads.

Before joining UVA, I obtained my B.S. in Computer Science and Technology from Sichuan University, where I was part of the Top-notch Program.

I am also open to new research and collaboration opportunities. Feel free to reach me at xrn4ub AT virginia.edu.
