Hi, I am Zongze, a first year Computer Science Ph.D. student at University of Chicago, where I am advised by Prof. Ce Zhang and Prof. Yanjing Li.

Prior to joining UChicago, I obtained my bachelor’s degree at ShanghaiTech University.

My primary research goal is to design and employ techniques at the system and architecture levels to optimize and accelerate AI applications(Sys4AI), as well as explore the potential of Heterogeneous Computing in broader application scenarios. This includes, but is not limited to, accelerating large model inference, graph analytics, and optimizing operators at the compilation level. Apart from that, I also have experience and interest in HPC, AI Systems. I believe that future system designs will complement the development of AI applications, and it is worth focusing on how increasingly specialized hardware accelerators can synergistically leverage their performance advantages in heterogeneous systems.

Feel free to get in touch for anything or meet up if you’re around, especially if you’re up for some potential collaboration opportunities.
