Kun Wang (王坤)

I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong (CityU), supervised by Prof. Zhenjiang Li. I also work closely with Prof. Zimu Zhou. Before that, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, from Xidian University (XDU), China, 2020.

My research interests primarily lie in designing and building efficient On-Device AI systems (e.g., in Smartphones, NVIDIA Jetson or HUAWEI Atlas), including:

(1) Optimizing KV-Cache of Large Language Models (LLMs).
(2) Building efficient On-Device Heterogeneous Federated Learning (HFL) systems.
(3) Developing efficient On-Device Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) inference engine.

Note: I'm currently looking for the job opportunities of Industry Researcher or Engineer around (edge) AI Infrastructure, especially related to the acceleration of inference and training of LLMs.

If you have suitable positions, please feel free to contact me.
