About

Hi! I am Youzhe Liu (刘有哲). Right now, I am a 5-th year Ph.D. student at University of California, Riverside, advised by Professor Yihan Sun and Yan Gu. I got my B.S. in Data Science from Fudan University.

Research

My current research focuses on designing parallel algorithms and data structures, with both theoretical guarantees and practical implementations. I also work on model training acceleration and RL training infrastructure.
