Jiajun Qin
I am Jiajun Qin (秦嘉俊 in Chinese), a first-year PhD student at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), supervised by Prof. Bei YU since 2025 Fall.
Prior to that, I graduated from Zhejiang University in 2025. I had the privilege to complete a research internship at NYU SAI Lab under the supervision of Prof.Sai Qian Zhang. I was also fortunate to collaborate with Prof.Cheng Tan from Google and Prof.Jeff Zhang from ASU. Prior to this, I greatly appreciated the mentorship of Prof.Zeke Wang at RC4ML at ZJU.
My research interests include:
- Multi-Modal Large Languge Models
- Controllable Text-to-Image Generattion
- Hardware/Software Co-Design for AI
- Reconfigurable Accelerator (e.g. Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Array)
- Electronic Design Automation
