Jianan (Oscar) Ji

I’m currently a second-year master student at Carnegie Mellon University. I’m a member of the CMU Catalyst research group, and am fortunate to work under the esteemed guidance of Prof. Zhihao Jia.

My research interests lie at the intersection of machine learning systems and large language models. I believe that research and engineering, systems and algorithms are equally indispensable in this exciting era of LLM. Currently, my primary work involves breaking the boundaries of traditional kernels by fusing them into a “megakernel” to push hardware utilization to the limit.

Prior to CMU, I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Peking University, where I worked with Prof. Tong Yang on network system and advanced algorithms for data stream.
