About Me
Here is Zhuoyu WU(Reagan, 吴卓宇).
I am a PhD student in the CyPhi AI Lab at the Monash University, supervised by Prof. Raphael Phan, and funded by Graduate Research Excellent Scholarship.
Prior to Monash, I have worked on Efficient AI algorithm design as well as the SW/HW co-design under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Zheng Wang and Dr. Wenqi Fang at Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences(SIAT, CAS). I had a wonderful time there, collaborating with a group of talented individuals to deliver several key projects.
If you are interested in any aspect of me, I am always open to discussions and academic collaborations. Feel free to reach out to me at — zhuoyu.wu [at] monash.edu
