Jialian Wu

I'm a research scientist at AMD GenAI in Seattle where I work on LLM. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering from State University of New York at Buffalo (UB) in 2023, advised by Prof. Junsong Yuan. Before that, I got B.Eng. from Tianjin University in 2018. I received the Best Graduate Research Award and Best First Year Achiever Award from the CSE department of UB.
