👋 I’m a PhD student in computer science, working with Prof. Marco Canini at SANDS Lab. My current research focuses on Agentic AI Systems and AutoResearch, building autonomous agents that accelerate scientific discovery. Previously, I worked on distributed machine learning systems, including gradient compression, KV-Cache optimization, and efficient GPU communication for LLM training and inference.
