Siyuan Chen (陈思元)

I am a first year Ph.D. student at computer science department at Carnegie Mellon University, happily advised by Phil Gibbons and Heather Miller, and I am closely working with Ben Titzer. I finished my undergraduate at Turning Class of Peking University, where I was fortunately advised by Yun (Eric) Liang.

My research pursuit is to develop robust software systems with a focus on elegant algorithmic design. Currently, my concentration is on edge machine learning systems. More precisely, I am developing tools to enable efficient execution and cross-platform programming of machine learning models on edge devices through better memory management and the WebAssembly technology.

Previously, I am deeply engaged in the machine learning system, working on performance modeling of data movement for tensor programs (Chimera, HPCA23’), mapping mechanism from DNN to SoC (COMB, DAC23’), RL-based inference framework for dynamic neural networks (ED-Batch, ICML23’), and analytical-based simulator for fused program on general hardware (TileFlow, MICRO23’).
