about my name
In Chinese: 许灿文 (simplified), 許燦文 (traditional)Hi! I’m doing research on AI and LLMs at Snowflake. I obtained my PhD degree from UC San Diego in 2024. I was advised by Prof. Julian McAuley. I spent wonderful time doing research at Microsoft, Google, Hugging Face and Boson AI. I got my B.Eng. from Wuhan University in 2020.
My research focuses on efficient large language models that reduces carbon footprint, inference delay and computational cost. I have a strong preference for methods that are simple, intuitve and fun.
