Hi there 👋 I'm Yufeng Xia (夏驭风) — a first-year MSc by Research student at the Institute for Computing Systems Architecture (ICSA) at the University of Edinburgh, supervised by Prof. Mahesh K. Marina. I am also a member of the Networked Systems (NetSys) Group.
My research lies at the intersection of Networking and ML Systems, with a focus on building scalable and efficient systems for distributed machine learning at the edge. I am particularly interested in reimagining communication and Radio Access Network (RAN) infrastructure as a unified platform for ML workloads.
Previously, I undertook summer research with Antonio Barbalace (Systems-Nuts research group), focusing on compiler optimization. I obtained my B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Edinburgh with First Class Honours.
