Lijie (Derrick) Yang
I am a CS PhD at Princeton University fortunate to be advised by Prof. Ravi Netravali. I obtained my bachelor degree in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon, where I was advised by Prof. Zhihao Jia and worked closely with Prof. Tianqi Chen.
Research Interests: My work focuses on building efficient deep learning systems with the co-design of hardware and software. I’m particularly passionate about exploring the potential of state-of-the-art AI models like language models in reasoning and long-context tasks.
