Ji Lin

I am currently a second-year Ph.D. student at MIT EECS, advised by Prof. Song Han. My research interests lie in efficient and hardware-friendly machine learning and its applications.

Before coming to MIT, I received my B.Eng. in Electronic Engineering from Tsinghua University. During summer 2020, I interned at Adobe Research with Jun-Yan Zhu and Richard Zhang.
