Experience

Work Experience

  • Machine Learning Engineer, Qualcomm. Optimized multimodal foundation-model inference and studied accuracy-latency trade-offs for Stable Diffusion 3/3.5, Qwen-VL/Omni, and Phi-4-Multimodal. Developed full-stack adaptations across model structure, quantization, operators, speculative decoding, and deployment pipelines, validated through on-device benchmarks.
  • High Performance Computing Engineer - AI Inference, DJI. Optimized heterogeneous inference for autonomous-driving BEV and occupancy networks through preprocessing, custom operators, kernels, compiler passes, and hardware-aware pipeline design across Qualcomm CPU, GPU, and DSP backends.

Research Experience

  • Empirical Study of Conditioning Structure for Efficient MoT-based Multimodal Models. Mar 2026 - Present. Advisors: Dr. Yuexiao Ma and Dr. Xiawu Zheng. Profiles visual and text conditioning signals in BAGEL-7B-MoT across CFG branches, roles, layer depths, and denoising timesteps.
  • AlphaQ: Calibration-Free Bit Allocation for MoE Quantization. Aug 2025 - Present. Advisors: Dr. Shiwei Liu and Dr. Yuexiao Ma. Develops calibration-free expert and layer importance estimation from spectral structure and solves global mixed-precision bit allocation with integer linear programming.
  • Research Assistant, TU Darmstadt AI & Machine Learning Lab. Oct 2021 - Feb 2022. Designed a cloud-based experimental environment for studying learning-agent behavior through multi-agent interactions and ran more than 300 evaluation experiments.
