Dacheng Li

I am a CS PhD at EECS, UC Berkeley with Prof. Ion Stoica and Prof. Joseph Gonzalez , affliated with Sky and BAIR . I obtained my master in Machine Learning at CMU with Prof. Eric Xing and Prof. Hao Zhang . I obtained my undergraduate with double majors in Computer Science and Mathematics at UC San Diego with Prof. Zhuowen Tu .

I study Machine Learning, in the context of modeling performance, scaling, system efficiency, framework usability, and theoratical support. My goal is to develop, support performant models at scale, and provide easily usable framework for people, to faciliate ML deployment in the real world. I usually work on topics around LLMs (long-context, RAG, LoRA, fairness, open-source .. etc), privacy-preserving serving, large-scale ML algorithms.

Also check out my girlfriend's webpage . She is a great CS PhD at UW.
