[07/24, Student Achievement] Congrats to Yao Fu on Winning 2024 Rising Star in ML & Systems.

This year’s Rising Stars cohort includes 41 junior researchers from 33 institutions globally. Selected from over 170 applicants, Yao is the sole recipient from the UK and one of three from Europe, the other two European students coming from ETH, Zurich.

The 2024 Rising Start workshop was held in the NVIDIA HQ in Santa Clara, CA in July, where Yao presented his research.

Yao is a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at The University of Edinburgh, supervised by Dr Luo Mai. His research lies at the intersection of machine learning and systems, focusing on performance and affordability. Recently, his work has centred on efficient serving systems for large language models, leading to two main projects: ServerlessLLM and the MoESys Leaderboard.
