I am a second year PhD student at UT Austin ECE under the supervision of Prof. Haris Vikalo. My research develops efficient, trustworthy AI for decentralized, resource-constrained systems. I’m interested in designing methods that preserve reliability under tight compute/memory/latency budgets, device heterogeneity, and non-stationary deployments. To view the list of papers I've contributed to, please visit the publication section.


Previously, I completed my master's studies at Advanced Radio Technology Lab, KAIST, where I also earned my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

Current research interests
  • LLM quantization & speculative decoding for fast, resource-aware inference
  • Continual learning in collaborative, privacy-preserving environments
  • Task offloading and model onloading for hierarchical edge AI inference
