👋 Hi, I’m Shiyang Li(李世阳)

💼 ABOUT ME

I’m currently a PhD student at UMN, school of CSE. I work with Prof. Caiwen Ding and Prof. Pen-Chung Yew on research in GPU programming, computer architecture, and Agentic machine learning system.

I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Gong Xiaoli during my B.S. and M.S. at Nankai University for 7 years, an incredible experience!

🔍RESEARCH

My research mainly focuses on computer architecture and GPU programming, especially about GPU memory management, high-efficienct CUDA kernels, and CPU-GPU heterogeneous computing. Recently I’m highly interested in LLM training/inference optimization on GPUs, Agentic MLSys, and Agentic EDA framework.

I’m finding highly passionate undergraduate/graduate interns who wants to do some research works in coding Agent design, CUDA programming, and Agentic MLSys, if you are interested please email me at li004074@umn.edu.
